Systems exist within the cabinet Office to ensure recruitment is carried out on the basis of Fair and Open Competition and selection on merit. These systems are subject to audit both internally and by the Office of the Civil Service Commissioners (OSCS). The last full audit was carried out by the OSCS in 2003-2004.

New Deal – the Cabinet Office signed up to the New Deal initiative in 1998. Our aim was to participate in the initiative as fully as we could and at least in proportion to our share in the labour market. There have been no New Deal starters in the period covered.
Appointments under Permitted exceptions to Fair and Open Competition:
There were two exceptions, one at the C2 level and the other at B1. Both were casual appointments, which were extended beyond 12 months as a result of extensions to the projects being worked on.

New Deal – the Cabinet Office signed up to the New Deal initiative in 1998. Our aim was to participate in the initiative as fully as we could and at least in proportion to our share in the labour market. There have been no New Deal starters in the period covered.
There were eight exceptions, of which three (one at C2 and two at B1 level) were extensions of casual appointments beyond 12 months as a result of unavoidable delays to projects and an unexpected expansion of another. Five fixed term appointees (four at B1 and one at SCS level) had their appointments converted to permanent status as it was decided these posts would be retained on a permanent basis.
