Summary of request

Your request 

  1. Do you have a managed service provider that manages your agency temporary and interim recruitment (for example, Matrix, Comensura, Reed, Hays)?
  2. What is the contact information for the Account Manager of that company? 
  3. What is the contact information for the officer that manages that contract? 
  4. What was your agency recruitment spend for 2022?

Our response

Please see our responses to each question in turn below.

1. Yes – Reed (Master Vendor)

2. Please note that some names of members of staff are exempt from disclosure under section 40 (Personal information) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). This information would identify specific employees at Reed and as such constitutes personal data which is defined by Article 4(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable living individual.

It is considered that disclosure of this information would contravene the first data protection principle under Article 5(1) of GDPR which states that Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject. You may wish to contact Reed direct.

3. See response to question 2. As above, the GLA does not release personal data under the FOIA.

You can find links to information on supplying and contracting (including how to register as a supplier) and contact details for the Procurement team on the GLA’s website.

4. Agency recruitment spend for the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 was £5,529,204.

If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact us, quoting reference MGLA110423-4603.
