Is there a current incumbent? Yes, an individual has performed this role for the last two years. It was previously competed on this DOS framework in 2019. 2. “Please note that this role has been initially assessed as being outside of scope of IR35. The IR35 status will checked again at the point of contract award”. Please can you clarify what factors about the role may change and therefore affect the initial “Outside IR35” assessment? Apologies for the confusion. The Home Office anticipate that this role will be outside IR35 for the duration of the contract..Ahead of the June 2021 legislation going live, we are awaiting further Home Office guidance/templates. This may require completion of additional forms and an IR35 re-assessment after the award has been made. 3.

Most candidates are still very concerned about travelling to an office if the work can be delivered effectively from home. Remote access to Home Office systems is available. No contractor will be expected to attend a Home Office site under current COVID restrictions.
