The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has selected Parity Resources to supply communication information staff for limited duration contracts. During the two-year contract, Parity will resource the Ministry of the Defence with security-cleared staff with a broad range of IT skills. Parity expects a healthy return from the contract and is making further investment within its defence delivery team reflecting its commitment to the project’s success.
The skills required by the MoD include communications and networking support, application development, business continuity and system analysis. Parity Resources will provide security-cleared and reference-checked staff to fulfil the MoD’s guidelines..
Alan Rommel, managing director at Parity Resources, explained: “The MoD’s security and confidentiality demands are probably the most stringent of any UK organisation. Being chosen by them proves we can not only deliver the right technical skills, but also provide the rigorous checks required to ensure security and safety.”
