Frameworks for Provision of Interim IT Staff Services and Provision of Interim Professional Staff Services: FOI release

Information requested

The information listed below in relation to the Scottish Governments Framework for the Provision of Interim IT Staff Services and Provision of Interim Professional Staff Services.

1. Total spend for each public body between 01 April 2023 – 30 June 2023 and to which agency (including agencies who are now no longer on the framework) for both Frameworks (Generation 2 & 3)?

2. Number of jobs held by each agency at 30 June-23 (including agencies who are now no longer on the framework) for both frameworks (Generation 2 & 3)?

Response

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested. This is because we no longer collate management information on the expired 2nd generation frameworks.

Additionally, we are unable to provide the number of job roles held for the 3rd generation of these frameworks by each agency at 30th June 2023. To ensure compliance with Data Protection Act requirements, we have changed the format in which we collate and hold management information for these frameworks from 1st April 2023. As such we no longer hold data in a format which allows a breakdown of individual job roles (i.e. number of individuals) per agency/framework. Consequently, we are unable to provide the data requested.

This is a formal notice under section 17(1) of FOISA that the Scottish Government does not have some of the information you have requested.

Please find the information requested that we do hold the Annex attached.
