Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves HS2 Ltd, a prominent organisation based in London, which is seeking to recruit Permanent Quality Specialist positions. This tender falls under the recruitment services industry category, targeting suppliers capable of extensive market searches for qualified candidates. The procurement is at the Award stage and completed on 29 July 2015, with a contract period that runs from 27 July 2015 to 31 December 2015.
