AMS PSR runs the UK public sector's Total Talent framework for AMS (a Korn Ferry Company), covering contingent and permanent recruitment, training, deployment, vetting and specialist services procurement.
AMS PSR delivers Public Sector Resourcing (PSR), the UK public sector's end-to-end Total Talent framework, on behalf of the Government Commercial Agency. AMS, a Korn Ferry Company, has managed the framework since January 2018; the current contract was awarded in February 2024 and runs until 2031. PSR supports more than 140 public sector customers and operates across the United Kingdom.
The framework brings contingent and permanent recruitment together with a range of supporting services in a single coordinated route to market. These include Recruit-Train-Deploy, which combines recruitment with training and deployment into public sector roles; the Skills Academy, covering training and skills development; Statement of Work engagements for the procurement of specialist services; Resource Augmentation, providing additional contract and contingent resources; and campaign management, vetting and advisory services supporting public sector hiring.
Customers span government departments, executive agencies, arm's-length bodies, blue-light services covering police, fire and ambulance, higher education institutions and local authorities. Alongside recruitment, the framework addresses vetting and compliance, spend management, governance and social value, offering compliant routes to engage contractors and permanent hires and to build future talent pipelines.
Work carried out through the framework is aligned to the UK Social Value Model and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with an emphasis on social value, continuous improvement and supplier engagement.
