HMRC have a requirement to recruit candidates into specialist positions within the organisation to enable its objectives to be met.

HMRC expect to receive at least 15,000 applications for Data and Intelligence Analyst positions within Risk and Intelligence Service (RIS) and Fraud Investigation Service (FIS).

HMRC require a supplier to work with Civil Service Resourcing to develop and attach three (3) online tests to vacancies at Senior Officer, Higher Officer and Officer grades to test candidate aptitude to ensure entry standards to the Civil Service are maintained.

The supplier must ensure that these online tests are suitable to recruit at the grades listed above to the Civil Service and should be able to demonstrate how they distinguish between the various grades.

These online tests will be used as de-selection tools to reduce the application numbers for each campaign to a manageable number and will be designed to test candidates' ability in numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning and analytical thinking.

HMRC are therefore seeking (a) supplier(s) who will be able to provide the following tests:

Lot 1:

• Numerical Reasoning test

The Analysis Test must be available from October 2016. HMRC will hold the Intellectual Property rights of the Analysis Test for future use.

The supplier will need to be able to deliver an integration solution if required, involving agile working methods with the Application Tracking System provider.
