Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured recruitment campaign services for multiple senior public appointments. The requirement includes campaigns to appoint a Chair of the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service and a Chair of His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service. This is a professional recruitment services requirement, classified under CPV 79600000. Services may be delivered across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The Ministry of Justice is the buying organisation. The requirement is categorised as services and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns recruitment campaigns rather than the direct provision of court or family support services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective direct call-off from Lot 3, Non-Executive and Public Appointments, of the Government Commercial Agency RM6290 Executive and Non-Executive Recruitment Services framework. The submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 11:00. Gatenby Sanderson was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026 for £96,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2028. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot competition. The stated procurement method was a framework call-off, with the award made by direct award under the framework’s relevant lot.

This award is commercially relevant to executive search and public appointment specialists able to manage several senior recruitment campaigns for a government department. The requirement shows demand for end-to-end campaign capability focused on high-profile non-executive and public appointments, including identifying, assessing and presenting candidates for chair roles. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible experience in senior-level recruitment, public sector appointments and campaigns requiring careful handling of prominent candidates and appointing bodies. The framework route is significant: businesses wanting to compete for similar Ministry of Justice requirements would need access to the relevant executive and non-executive recruitment services framework, or to understand how comparable framework opportunities are structured. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs.
