Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has conducted a selective procurement process titled "DNO 451 Exec Recruitment Services," with a focus on recruitment services within the South West region of England. The procurement, completed under a call-off from a framework agreement, involved awarding a contract valued at GBP 55,000 to Russel Reynolds, starting on April 22, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2026. The contract award notice was published on May 22, 2025. This procurement process is in the award update stage, emphasizing executive recruitment services as a key industry category. The Ministry of Defence serves as the buyer in this process, and the location reference is Bristol, England, postal code BS34 8JH.

Such tenders provide significant opportunities for businesses involved in high-level recruitment services to steadily grow their client base by securing contracts with large governmental organisations. Companies that specialise in executive search and recruitment, with the capability to offer niche services tailored to organisational needs, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. While the procurement method was selective, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may not find this specific opportunity tailored to their involvement, offering further prospects for large-scale recruitment firms.
