Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department spent on external recruitment consultants in the (a) 2020-21, (b) 2021-22 and (c) 2022-23 financial year.
I can confirm the MoJ has several contracts to deliver external recruitment services over financial years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23; however, these are not consultant based.
External recruitment agencies and search firms are an important resource which support the
Civil Service's ability to recruit - to find talented people, in the right places, with the right capabilities to deliver for the people of the United Kingdom. The Civil Service has developed a number of commercial frameworks which provide transparency, high quality services and
value for money.
The largest of these recruitment service contracts is with TMP Worldwide (Peoplescout) and spend in the financial years requested in summarised below:
F/Y | Contract Value |
2020/21 | £2,848,380 |
2021/22 | £7,249,765 |
2022/23 | £7,449,789 |
There are other recruitment services contracts which have been awarded over the financial years requested. These are listed below by contract value over the years rather than spend:
F/Y | Contract Value |
2020/21 | £126,500 |
2021/22 | £353,100 |
2022/23 | £238,950 |
