Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire, on behalf of Warwickshire Police, has awarded a contract titled "Specialist Recruitment" to Viqu Limited and Brookwood Recruitment Limited. This contract, classified under Recruitment Services (CPV code 79600000), addresses the urgent need for recruitment into specialist roles within the police force. The contract follows an exemption process due to the immediacy required, and the suppliers were chosen based on their historic ability to provide suitable candidates for similar roles. The contract runs from 28th October 2024 to 27th April 2025, with operations based in the West Midlands, UK. The process has moved beyond the tender stage, and the award was made official on 25th October 2024, for a total value of £70,000.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses that specialise in recruitment services, particularly those with capabilities to swiftly handle HR and vetting processes. SMEs and VCSEs are especially encouraged to engage, as the contract recognises the potential value these organisations bring. Companies experienced in providing specialised personnel and those familiar with public sector requirements, particularly within the security and law enforcement industries, will find this contract highly aligning with their strengths and service offerings. This presents a significant growth opportunity in terms of gaining a prestigious client and solidifying a foothold in the public procurement market.
