Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government procured an Applicant Tracking System recruitment platform to support its recruitment activity across the United Kingdom. The service covers candidate management, anonymised recruitment, recruitment workflow automation, diversity monitoring and reporting, together with associated support services. This is a software and recruitment technology service, classified under software supply services (CPV 72268000), with recruitment services as an additional classification. The platform is intended to help the department manage recruitment candidates and processes, improve anonymisation, automate workflows, monitor diversity and produce recruitment reports. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, based in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 June 2026 to Be Applied Limited. The contract was let as a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2 for cloud software. The tender submission deadline was 11 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded contract value is £65,288. The initial contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 June 2027. MHCLG has sole discretion to extend the arrangement for three further 12-month periods, taking the potential contract end date to 30 June 2030. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Be Applied Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from MHCLG for a specialist cloud recruitment platform rather than a general-purpose recruitment service. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a mature applicant tracking system, secure candidate management and anonymised recruitment functionality. Credible capability would also include configurable workflow automation, diversity monitoring, reporting and dependable support for a public-sector recruitment operation. Experience delivering cloud software through a government framework, with the service quality and operational resilience needed for departmental use, would strengthen a supplier’s position. SMEs were considered suitable for the requirement, so a focused technology provider with relevant implementation and support experience could be well placed when this type of need returns.
