Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

ICS, acting for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), procured executive recruitment search services for ICS and DSIT. The requirement is a specialist recruitment and executive search service, within the broader business services and recruitment sector. The work is associated with the buyer’s activities in London, with the buyer based in Swindon, England. It is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement supports the identification and recruitment of executive-level candidates for public sector organisations, with the search focused on ICS and DSIT.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct call-off from the Crown Commercial Service RM6290 Executive & Non-Executive Recruitment Services framework, using a selective procedure. The award was made to Global Resourcing Ltd on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £40,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 14:00. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. This was an award notice, not a call for competition.

For recruitment businesses, this award demonstrates demand from ICS, DSIT and DESNZ for executive search delivered through the RM6290 Executive & Non-Executive Recruitment Services framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide specialist executive recruitment search capability and understand the needs of central government departments and their associated organisations. Framework access and experience of delivering public sector recruitment services would be commercially important, alongside the ability to identify, assess and present suitable senior candidates for executive appointments. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist search firms with the required framework position, public sector understanding and executive-level delivery capability may be well placed when comparable demand returns.
