OPRaaS is a specialist audit and assurance provider helping public sector organisations manage risk, compliance and accountability across contingent labour and temporary staffing supply chains. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies and responsibility shifts towards end hirers, OPRaaS provides independent evidence, insight and capability to protect budgets, workers and reputations.
Why this matters now
Across the UK public sector, high‑profile PAYE, NIC and IR35 failures have shown that labour supply chain risk is no longer theoretical. With umbrella company reform and new Joint and Several Liability rules coming into force from April 2026, trusts, local authorities and government bodies will be directly exposed when agencies or intermediaries fail to operate compliant payroll models. OPRaaS enables organisations to move from reactive compliance firefighting to proactive, defensible assurance.
What OPRaaS LSCA 2.0 delivers
OPRaaS provides a clear, evidence‑based picture of how temporary workers are engaged, paid and managed across complex staffing chains. Through payroll‑by‑payroll audits, targeted due diligence and risk‑based reviews, LSCA 2.0 identifies issues such as incorrect PAYE or NIC treatment, holiday pay and pension shortfalls, worker misclassification, right‑to‑work gaps, disguised remuneration and hidden subcontracting. Crucially, LSCA 2.0 supports practical remediation plans that stand up to HMRC scrutiny, internal audit challenge and external regulators.
LSCA 2.0: audit plus platform
At the core of our offer is the OPRaaS Labour Supply Chain Assurance (LSCA) 2.0 methodology, designed for both public and private sector environments. LSCA 2.0 combines independent audit with a SaaS‑based self‑certification and learning platform, enabling HR, finance, procurement and compliance teams to build in‑house capability, maintain GDPR‑compliant audit trails and evidence “reasonable care” under both current and incoming umbrella and JSL legislation.
