Recruitment Services Framework 2022

The purpose of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is to serve the public interest by setting high standards of corporate governance, reporting and audit and by holding to account those responsible for delivering them.

Delivering on our purpose will bring a variety of benefits. Improved outcomes, created by each of our regulatory activities are shown in the circle; each of which can positively reinforce others in the circle and contribute to overall benefits for a wide range of stakeholders such as greater transparency, increased trust in UK markets and a lower cost of capital for companies. Our direct stakeholders include companies, institutional investors, auditors, actuaries, accountants and their respective professional bodies. Our indirect stakeholders include retail shareholders, suppliers, employees, customers, communities, pensioners and savers, and financial institutions, all of whom have an interest in the health of companies and other organisations within our existing and future regulatory scope and in the success of the UK corporate sector as a whole.

In 2020 the FRC set up it's first ever Framework Agreement for the provision of Agency Recruitment Services. We are now seeking to refresh our recruitment services framework agreement.

We are seeking to appoint and work with Recruitment Agencies for our permanent and fixed terms recruitment (and occasional interim requirements).

Those Agencies must understand our branding and values and be committed to drive high standards with our resourcing alongside being committed to diversity and inclusion

Agency should understand that FRC operates in the public sector and is committed to the attainment of value for money (and minimizing risk). Our supply partners should understand and share that commitment.

FRC operates skills-based job family. These job families are:

• Actuarial
• Audit & Accountancy
• Legal
• Forensic Accountants
• "All Jobs" (roles that fall outside the scope of the above, for example Human Resources, Information Technology and Governance).
