Summary of the contracting process

Health Data Research Service Limited procured executive recruitment services for a range of mainly C-suite appointments. The roles identified include Chief Financial Officer, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Public Engagement Officer, General Counsel and Chief Strategy Officer, alongside further senior appointments as its operating model develops. The purpose is to establish senior leadership capability and shape the organisation’s culture. This is a personnel placement service, covering senior executive search and appointment rather than general staffing. The work is associated with Health Data Research Service Limited in London, with delivery linked to the NW1 area. The requirement is classified as CPV 79610000, Placement services of personnel. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Saxton Bampfylde. The award was made on 23 July 2026 for £420,000 including the stated currency of GBP, matching the total procurement value. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17:00 on 17 July 2026. The route was a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The selected supplier is Saxton Bampfylde, an SME. The award is active, and the contract covers the recruitment requirement for the identified executive and other senior roles. The available procurement information does not set out a separate price-versus-quality weighting or other detailed evaluation formula.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for senior executive search within a public-sector health data organisation. Competitors would need credible capability in identifying, assessing and appointing C-suite and other senior leaders, including candidates for finance, medical, public engagement, legal and strategy functions. Relevant suppliers are likely to have executive search expertise, access to senior candidate networks, robust assessment methods and the capacity to manage several appointments as an organisation’s operating model develops. Experience of recruiting leaders who can shape organisational capability and culture would be directly relevant. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that specialist smaller organisations can be credible participants where they can evidence the necessary reach, delivery capacity and senior-level recruitment experience.
