Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured recruitment services to appoint a Trust Chair. The requirement was for specialist recruitment activity supporting the identification and appointment of a chair-level candidate for the NHS foundation trust. The work relates to Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust at Eaton Road, Liverpool, L12 2AP, in the North West of England. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The procurement falls under CPV 79600000, recruitment services, and is relevant to businesses that provide senior-level search, selection and recruitment support for organisations appointing chairs or other senior leadership roles.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 July 2026 to GATENBYSANDERSON LIMITED. The contract value is £17,325 including the stated currency of GBP. It was run as a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 7 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 8 June 2026 to 30 November 2026. Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is the buyer. The award is active, and the selected supplier is the only supplier identified in the award. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the requirement was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award is useful market evidence for recruitment businesses that support NHS trusts with senior appointments, particularly chair and board-level recruitment. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist firm rather than only a large recruitment group. A credible future competitor would need the ability to manage a focused senior search, identify and assess suitable candidates, and support the buyer through a chair recruitment process. Access to the relevant framework is also commercially important because this procurement was made through a framework call-off. Firms with a clearly defined senior recruitment offer and the capacity to deliver a discrete assignment for a healthcare trust would be the closest match.
