Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited procured executive search services through a call-off contract. The requirement covers recruitment services to support executive-level appointments, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is National Wealth Fund Limited, based in Leeds. The procurement is categorised as services and is intended for suppliers able to provide executive search and related recruitment expertise. This requirement is relevant to executive search firms, specialist recruitment consultancies and other providers with the capability to identify, assess and support the appointment of senior leaders for a UK public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 30 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Russell Reynolds Associates Ltd on 21 July 2026 for £440,000. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2028. The award is active. This is a single executive search services requirement rather than a procurement divided into lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated requirement is for recruitment services, with the contract covering executive search provision for National Wealth Fund Limited across the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for specialist executive search support at substantial organisational scale. Businesses competing for a future requirement with this buyer would need credible capability in senior-level recruitment, including sourcing suitable candidates, managing confidential searches and supporting appointments across the UK. Strong market knowledge, an established executive candidate network and the capacity to manage multiple senior assignments would help demonstrate suitability. The procurement route also matters: suppliers would need access to, or participation in, the relevant framework used for the call-off. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy with the necessary executive search expertise and delivery capacity could be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
