Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) procured recruitment support for its Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme. The requirement covers the end-to-end recruitment campaign for new volunteers, including promoting opportunities, managing applications, shortlisting candidates and coordinating interviews. MOPAC officers are involved as interview panel members, so the supplier works closely with the organisation throughout the campaign. This is a recruitment services contract, classified under CPV 79600000, with delivery in London. The opportunity is aimed at supporting the recruitment of volunteers rather than permanent employees, and requires a supplier able to manage candidate communications and administration alongside a public-sector client and its participating officers. The service is relevant to recruitment consultancies and specialist campaign providers with experience of volunteer or community-focused recruitment programmes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Gatenby Sanderson Ltd on 21 April 2026. The awarded value is £169,915 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 15 January 2027, with an option to extend beyond the call-off period by up to 12 months through two one-year extension periods. The tender submission deadline was 20 February 2026. It was conducted as a tender for services, with MOPAC as the buying organisation. The recorded tender value was also £169,915. The contract was awarded as a single requirement rather than being divided into published lots. The procurement identified voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable organisation types, while SMEs were not identified as suitable.

This award indicates a defined demand for externally managed volunteer recruitment campaigns within MOPAC’s community scrutiny work. A credible future competitor would need to provide end-to-end recruitment delivery: opportunity promotion, application management, structured shortlisting and interview coordination. It would also need to work effectively with public-sector officers who participate directly in interview panels, maintaining clear processes, reliable administration and appropriate communication with volunteers. The requirement is particularly relevant to recruitment consultancies with experience of community, public-service or volunteer campaigns, rather than providers focused only on executive search or permanent staff placement. Organisations with voluntary, community or social enterprise experience are well placed to demonstrate an understanding of volunteer engagement and inclusive candidate handling. The incumbent is a specialist recruitment consultancy, showing that managed campaign expertise is central to the requirement.
