Services under the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Partnership contract began on 4 September 2017 and there is not currently enough analysis on which to base an estimate of potential savings or improvements to public services. The initial focus of the contract is to develop a Centre of Excellence that promotes RPA across government and helps Departments identify suitable opportunities for automation. The initial services are being provided at the supplier's cost and we will only pay for services where we agree terms for full development and deployment of RPA applications into Departments.<\/p>

The Civil Service is committed to becoming the most inclusive employer in the UK and as such works hard to understand the impact of recruitment on the diversity of its workforce.<\/p>
Anonymised recruitment, less formally referred to as \u2018name blind\u2019 recruitment, is just one of these initiatives and is intended to assure candidates that people are assessed on the basis of the evidence that they present.<\/p>
There is a significant focus on diversity and this policy is important as part of a wider suite of evidence based initiatives that when implemented together are more likely to have a positive impact on the diversity of the Civil Service.<\/p>
