<p>The records available to the Department for Transport via the Crown Commercial
Service (CCS), as declared by suppliers on their permanent recruitment frameworks,
for each of the last three years are as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£100,044.62</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£45,532.00</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2022/23</p></td><td><p>£189,376.90
(to date)</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note: Recruitment consultancies are used
by the department to attract the talent and specialist skills required to deliver
its strategic objectives and services. It is possible, but unlikely, that some spend
has occurred that has not been declared by suppliers, although the Department’s internal
finance system does not record data in such a way that allows this to be cross-checked.
These totals are inclusive of recruitment to the Department for Transport and its
Executive Agencies (DVSA, DVLA, MCA, VCA and ATE) and for both senior civil service
(SCS) and delegated grade recruitment. The figure for 20/21 was higher than expected
due to a higher volume of recruitment targeted at individuals with specialist/hard
to recruit skills. The increase in 22/23 over the previous year results from a renewed
focus on the department’s places for growth agenda and a growing focus on recruiting
outside London.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
