Agency Spend - 2010

Dear Ms. Waister,

We refer to your request for information, reproduced for your ease of reference below.

1. Recruitment (in the sense of engagement of employees) is done through www.jobs.soton.ac.uk. Are you perhaps referring to the provision of temporary workers by employment businesses? We would be grateful for clarification on this point.

2. The University does not hold information on any council’s preferred supplier list. If the council to which you refer is Southampton City Council, your request should be directed to [email address].

3. The University does not hold this information (please refer to the response in 2. above).

4. The University does not hold this information (please refer to the response in 2. above).

5. Would you please clarify what you mean by “agency spend”? Do you mean expenditure in respect of the provision of all temporary workers, or just in respect of the provision (if any) of catering staff temporary workers?

Yours sincerely,

FOI Office
University of Southampton
