Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish the (a) names of suppliers, (b) agencies and (c) partners including staff procured via preferred suppliers such as (i) Crown Commercial Services Frameworks and (ii) Experis Ltd including staff engaged through Manpower Group and Elan Group prior to acquisition by HMRC from December 2010 to date; and will he make a statement.
In accordance with departmental retention policy, and in preparation to ensure compliance with the 2017 reforms to the off-payroll working rules, HMRC only hold a complete central record of departmental engagements from 2016 to present.
Since 2018, HMRC’s contingent labour staff are provided through Alexander Mann Solutions, who are supported by over 300 specialist recruitment agencies classified by their role category capability. Prior to this date, contingent labour was provided via Capita on a similar framework.
HMRC has a contractual relationship with the service provider rather than with any individual agency.
