Answer -

Transport for NSW discloses contracts entered into with talent acquisition service providers in line with the NSW Government procurement guidelines.

Procurement processes vary and can include using existing NSW Government prequalification schemes, or tendering for specific work.

In addition, Transport for NSW has established its own Recruitment Strategic Supplier List. This scheme was put in place to represent value for money and best available rates. It was established in April 2017.

Further in September 2018, Transport for NSW established a centralised Talent Management function with dedicated in-house resourcing to further demonstrate financial sustainability. The model has reduced reliance on external providers and if and when required, provides a governance model to ensure compliance with relevant Government policy and procedures.
