Recruitment Framework for Finance
Introduction
The Recruitment Framework for Finance, administered by the National Framework Partnership, is designed to support public sector organisations in their quest to hire qualified finance professionals. This framework is not a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and is active until 11th December 2026. Its primary purpose is to streamline the recruitment process for finance roles, ensuring that public sector bodies have access to the best talent available, while saving time and resources typically consumed by extensive recruitment activities.
Context & Use Case
The framework specifically addresses the recruitment needs of the finance sector within the public domain. Contracting authorities frequently use this framework because it provides a structured and efficient method to recruit finance professionals who are well-suited to the unique demands of public sector roles. In an environment where financial expertise is critical to the effective management and allocation of public resources, having a reliable framework simplifies the hiring process, ensuring that organisations can focus on their core functions without being bogged down by recruitment challenges.
Scope of Services
The Recruitment Framework for Finance covers a comprehensive range of recruitment services tailored to the finance sector. While the exact services are not exhaustively listed, they typically include: 1. Identification and shortlisting of qualified finance candidates 2. Evaluation of candidates' skills and fit for public sector roles 3. Placement of temporary, contract, or permanent finance staff 4. Provision of market insights and guidance on recruitment strategies 5. Management of the recruitment process to ensure compliance with public sector standards
Who Can Apply
This framework is suitable for recruitment agencies and suppliers with expertise in finance sector recruitment. Applicants should have a strong track record of sourcing and placing finance professionals and an understanding of public sector recruitment requirements. Unlike a DPS, the application process is not open throughout the framework's duration, so interested suppliers should engage promptly to secure their involvement.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from using this framework through increased access to a pool of skilled finance professionals, which expedites the recruitment process. The framework promotes compliance with procurement rules, ensuring that recruitment activities adhere to necessary standards. Furthermore, it facilitates competition among suppliers, driving quality and value for money. By leveraging the expertise of recruitment partners who specialise in finance, buyers can make informed decisions and secure the best candidates efficiently.
