Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) in England, seeking a recruitment platform applicant tracking system, classified under software supply and recruitment services. This contract, identified as CPD4130109, was awarded via the G-Cloud 14 framework and is now in the award stage, finalised on 29 June 2026. With an initial contract period running from 1 June 2026 to 30 June 2027, it includes the possibility of three additional 12-month extensions up to 30 June 2030. The contract is valued at £65,288 and supports various recruitment functionalities such as candidate management and diversity monitoring. This procurement is categorized under the services main procurement category and was executed through a selective method, specifically, a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a pre-qualified pool of vendors was likely considered.

This awarded tender offers significant growth opportunities for firms specialising in cloud-based software solutions focused on recruitment and HR functions. Businesses best positioned to compete for such contracts would ideally have expertise in developing and providing scalable, automated recruitment systems that can be integrated with a government entity's existing infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were particularly encouraged to participate, but the award went to Be Applied Limited, a large-scale supplier. The procurement process emphasizes a commitment to fostering technological innovation in public sector recruitment, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses aiming to leverage their capabilities in recruitment technology and related support services.
