Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office has completed the procurement process involving the executive search and selection for the National Statistician at the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This tender falls within the 'Recruitment Services' industry category, specifically using the CPV classification code 79600000, and is located in the United Kingdom. It was conducted under a selective procurement method with the procurement details indicating a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with Saxton Bampflyde announced as the supplier on 25 July 2025, and the contract period extending from that date until 24 July 2026. The tender value was set at £45,000 GBP with key dates including the tender period ending on 17 July 2025 and the award notice published on 4 August 2025.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses engaged in recruitment services, especially those focusing on executive search and selection roles. Given the selective nature of the tender and its call-off from a framework agreement, businesses already operating within existing frameworks may find this opportunity crucial for establishing or solidifying their governmental service portfolios. It is particularly suitable for SMEs due to the procurement's stated preference for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating potential growth and partnership opportunities within the public sector. The contract underscores the importance of aligning with governmental frameworks to expand reach and enhance business visibility in providing specialist staffing solutions.
