Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, concluded by ICS on behalf of DSIT and DESNZ, focuses on executive search services, under the title "CSP26670 ICS- SCS1 Executive Search". The procurement falls within the industry category of business services, specifically covering law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The location of service delivery is London, United Kingdom, with a postal code of SW1A 2HP. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 24th July 2026, following the end of the tender period on 23rd July 2026. This assignment follows a selective procurement method as part of a call-off from the CCS Framework RM6290 Executive & Non-Executive Recruitment Services, with a total contract value of £40,000 for the period from 24th July 2026 to 23rd July 2027.

This award creates significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in executive recruitment. While the contract was awarded to Global Resourcing Ltd, a large-scale business based in Camberley, the procurement method, being selective, suggests that businesses well-versed with framework agreements and those with specific expertise in executive search are well-suited to compete. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) can consider similar opportunities within the CCS Framework, providing an avenue to leverage existing frameworks to expand their public sector client base. Though this particular contract is exclusive, understanding the dynamics and procurement preferences can position businesses favourably for future tenders.
