Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured executive and non-executive recruitment services for its organisation. The requirement covers recruitment activity for senior executive and non-executive appointments, classified as recruitment services, and is delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is a services opportunity and was obtained through the Crown Commercial Service Executive & Non-Executive Recruitment Services framework, covering Lots 1, 2 and 3. NHS Property Services Limited is the buying organisation, based in Stockport, England. The selected supplier, Penna PLC, is based in London and provides the contracted recruitment service. The scope is relevant to executive search firms, specialist senior recruitment consultancies and providers with experience supporting public-sector or large organisational appointments.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NHS Property Services Limited selected Penna PLC on 28 August 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £40,000. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 4:00pm. The call-off used the Executive & Non-Executive Recruitment Services RM6290 framework and covered Lots 1, 2 and 3. The award is active. The procurement record identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information establishes the framework route and service scope, but does not set out a separate award weighting or evaluation formula.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from NHS Property Services Limited for specialist executive and non-executive recruitment rather than general staffing or high-volume temporary recruitment. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have credible executive search capability, access to senior-level candidate networks and the ability to manage confidential appointments for both executive and non-executive roles. Experience of advising a public body, understanding governance and board-level recruitment, and delivering structured candidate identification and selection would strengthen a future proposition. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist search firms can be commercially relevant where they can evidence dependable delivery, senior consultancy expertise and the capacity to support several recruitment assignments through a public-sector framework call-off.
