Efficiencies Review of SOP Process for 3GSS Programme

Within Government there is a new Initiative to drive efficiencies across the Civil Service (CS25 Challenge). MoJ has been asked to provide potential ways to meet these goals by March 2024 with any proposals needing to be signed by senior MoJ stakeholders in September. The Initiative was brought in by the Government to modernise and increase efficiency of the Civil Service and creating a more stable, diverse, agile and resilient workforce will have wide ranging benefits including acting as an enabler to wider reform (workforce, regime, digital and high reliability organisation).

The Prime Minister and Cabinet are seeking to improve the efficiency of the Civil Service workforce back to 2016 numbers over the next three years, meaning a reduction of around 91,000 roles.

In May 2022, the Prime Minister and Cabinet tasked all ministerial departments with bringing the Civil Service workforce back to 2016 numbers over the next three years, meaning a reduction of around 91,000 roles. There was an increased growth of civil servants to meet the demands of managing Brexit and the Covid pandemic and as of the end of March 2022, there were 479,040 full-time equivalent (FTE) civil servants.

By 2025, the Government aim for the Civil Service is we will be leaner; but we will be more agile, more capable and better equipped to serve the country and respond to the challenges of the mid-21st century.

This procurement is to put in place a new contract through a G-Cloud 12 to highlight areas in which the MoJ can increase its process efficiencies. The market is limited due to a nature and uniqueness of the request and the business criticality to meet ministerial deadlines.
