Revenue and Customs: Accenture

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason the requirement to provide work experience is a key performance indicator for the HMRC's Unity Programme Delivery Partner contract with Accenture.

Answer

It is a requirement that social value should form a component of all central government major contracts, alongside a range of performance indicators. Under the Unity Delivery Partner contract, Accenture deliver a variety of social value initiatives including work experience opportunities for young people. In accordance with transparency reporting requirements, their performance in offering these opportunities is measured and published on GOV.uk.

Work experience placements can offer younger people an insight into employment and can help enhance their skills and future employability.
