FOI release

FOI2019-10850 Staff numbers

Updated 15 October 2019

Dear

I am writing in response to your email dated 19 September 2019. I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). In response to your queries, I have completed a search for the information within the Defence Electronics & Components Agency, and I can confirm that we do hold information in scope of your request and include answers to your questions below and at Annex A of this response.

I would like to submit an FOI request and therefore would be grateful if you could please provide me with the following information on staff numbers;

For Finance only:

  • Total number of staff

9

  • Total number of SCS1 finance staff

Nil

  • Department structure

See Annex A

  • Total number of agency workers / contractors (please include those on fixed term contract but not internal secondment)

Nil

  • Frameworks used to procure interim staff in this area

Interim managers are sourced through a procurement process using agencies registered on the Crown Commercial Services Framework. For agency (non-management staff) we have a contract with an agency. If they are unable to supply, we will then source directly through other agencies.

If you are not satisfied with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Information Rights Compliance team, Ground Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB or by e-mailing CIO-FOI-IR@mod.uk. Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has ended.

If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD internal review process is complete. You can find further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner on the Commissioner’s website.

Regards
