Summary of the contracting process

The Insolvency Service procured executive recruitment campaign services for a Senior Civil Service Grade 1 position. The requirement covers an end-to-end executive search and recruitment service: attracting, assessing and supporting the appointment of a diverse field of high-calibre candidates for a senior public sector leadership role. Candidates must have the leadership capability, technical expertise and values required for the post. The service must align with the Civil Service Commission Recruitment Principles and support fair, open and merit-based recruitment. This is a UK-wide service requirement, covering recruitment activity for the buyer. The procurement category is recruitment services, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Global Resourcing Limited. The award was made on 29 July 2026 following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £36,600 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 22 June 2026 to 22 December 2026. The selected supplier is Global Resourcing Limited. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process for delivery of the specified executive search and recruitment service, including attraction and assessment of candidates in line with Civil Service Commission Recruitment Principles and fair, open and merit-based recruitment.

This award is relevant to executive search firms and specialist public sector recruitment providers able to manage a complete senior leadership campaign rather than isolated advertising or screening activity. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in sourcing high-calibre candidates for demanding public appointments, assessing leadership and technical suitability, and supporting the buyer through to appointment. Experience of diverse candidate attraction and fair, open and merit-based recruitment would be important, as would familiarity with Civil Service Commission Recruitment Principles. The award also shows that the requirement can be delivered by an SME through a framework call-off, so firms with suitable specialist capacity should consider framework access and evidence of comparable senior recruitment outcomes when preparing for similar demand from this buyer.
