Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions procured an industry-specific software service, classified under CPV 48100000, called the Synergy Applicant Bulk Sifting Tool. The requirement is for an integration tool to streamline large-scale recruitment campaigns. It must integrate with Synergy’s Oracle ERP system, align with ongoing deliverables and fit internal workflows. The service is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a technology and recruitment-support requirement rather than a general recruitment campaign: the central need is software that can handle high-volume applicant sifting while connecting reliably to an existing enterprise resource planning system. Suppliers providing recruitment technology, applicant-processing tools, enterprise integrations or related implementation services would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 17 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to Oleeo on 6 February 2026 for £980,000. The contract period runs from 31 January 2026 to 4 February 2029. The requirement was classified as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is Oleeo. The buyer’s stated requirement concerned an Oracle ERP-integrated tool for large-scale recruitment campaigns, so the outcome reflects a completed technology services purchase rather than an open competition or a future contract opportunity.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Work and Pensions for recruitment technology that can support large-scale applicant processing and integrate with Oracle ERP. Suppliers considering future work with this buyer would need credible capability in bulk applicant sifting, recruitment campaign technology, enterprise-system integration and workflow alignment. They would also need to show that their solution can operate alongside existing deliverables and internal processes, rather than functioning as a standalone tool. Relevant evidence could include successful implementation of recruitment or applicant-tracking platforms, reliable integration with Oracle environments, scalable processing for high-volume campaigns, and experience delivering software services for large public-sector or similarly complex organisations. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, although the awarded supplier is a large organisation.
