Response

the information you requested is not held by the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

• Total number of temporary workers engaged by your organization, broken down by department or function, if possible. Zero
• Total annual expenditure on temporary workers, including a breakdown of costs by department or function, if possible. £0
• Total number of agency suppliers (Preferred Suppliers/non-Preferred Suppliers) in your organisation’s labour supply chain Zero

I think it important to explain that the vision of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner is that police and fire services in Northamptonshire share professional services where they can, so that both benefit from consistent, high-quality support. This drives improvement, helps deliver the mission to keep the county safe and provides good value for money. The teams that have come together under the umbrella of Enabling Services so far are:

• Estates and Facilities
• HR
• Digital and Technology
• Finance
• Fleet and workshops

Information regarding human resources is therefore the responsibility of the Enabling Services Team, so the OPFCC does not hold any of the information you have requested. Northamptonshire Police’s Information Unit may hold some of the information you are seeking. If you have not already done so, then you may wish to write to their Freedom of Information and Data Protection Team, Information Unit, Force Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton, NN4 0JQ / freedomofinformation@northants.pnn.police.uk
