Civil Service Jobs Platform
Notice Description
The procurement was for the provision of the Civil Service Jobs Platform The Civil Service Jobs digital platform (Applicant Tracking System or ATS) is the principal digital recruitment platform for: the Government Recruitment Service (GRS), our central operational recruitment service and its customers; Government departments who use GRS services; and Departments who don't use GRS services, but subscribe to Civil Service Jobs Government-affiliated non-departmental public bodies and Arm's Length Bodies. Civil Service Jobs enables candidates to apply for jobs and vacancy holders to manage recruitment from advert to job offer. It is integral to cross-government recruitment activity; delivering 70% of Civil Service recruitment, with 100% of roles advertised through CS Jobs and 211 organisations using the service. Government People Group (GPG) will replace the current platform to align with, and deliver, key cross-government strategies, including the Declaration on Government Reform and the Civil Service Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 22-25. We want the next generation of Civil Service Jobs to resolve some of our biggest recruitment challenges: improving time to hire, standardising much of our recruitment processes, and giving our users a more intuitive user experience. The duration of the contract will be for an initial term of 5 years, with an option for the Authority to extend for up to two further years (exercisable in two optional extensions, each of up to 1 year). There are also certain optional services that can be instructed by the Authority at its discretion under the contract, as described in the procurement documents. Additional information: Contract details have been modified. Modification details are as follows: Change to contract end date and reduction in total contract value.
