Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has completed the procurement process for the "1 Star Role MPP PD Clyde Nuclear Recruitment" project under the services category, specifically recruitment services, classified with CPV code 79600000. This contract, valued at £28,520, is managed through a call-off from a framework agreement, employing a selective procurement method. The contract period is set from 3rd June 2026 to 21st November 2026, with all operations based in Scotland, United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage on 3rd June 2026, with the award notice published on 3rd July 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for recruitment firms, particularly those experienced with public sector contracts or defence-related recruitment. While the contract was already awarded to Gatenby Sanderson, a large organisation from London, the framework agreement structure suggests potential future opportunities for eligible businesses to join and compete under similar frameworks. Though the suitability criteria excluded SMEs or VCSEs in this instance, businesses meeting similar future tender requirements could leverage such opportunities to enhance their portfolio within high-security role recruitment, especially in governmental defence sectors.
