On longer-term plans for changing the way we currently recruit agency/temporary workers, DFID is currently looking at the possibility of moving to a central government National Framework contract for agency staff which has been set up. No decision has been made on this yet, so we do not expect our existing agency staff recruitment arrangements to change in the immediate future.
