Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator procured specialist recruitment services to support the hiring of Analyst roles for its internal team. This is a professional recruitment services requirement, classified under CPV 79600000. The work supports recruitment activity for the regulator and is delivered in the South East of England, with the buyer based in Brighton. The requirement is for a specialist recruitment agency rather than the direct provision of analyst staff or analytical services. It is relevant to agencies with experience identifying, attracting and supporting the appointment of candidates for analyst positions, particularly those operating across the South East. The buying organisation is The Pensions Regulator, a public sector regulator whose internal workforce requirement is the focus of this service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Pensions Regulator used a direct single-tender action below the threshold, with the award made on 28 August 2026 to Both The Andrews T/.A Spalding Goobey Associates. The awarded value is £85,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. The requirement was evaluated through the selected single-tender route rather than an open competition. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while not being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. There is one awarded supplier and one service requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist recruitment support within The Pensions Regulator, focused specifically on Analyst roles in an internal team. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need specialist recruitment capability, a strong understanding of analyst profiles and the ability to identify and engage suitable candidates. Experience managing recruitment assignments from brief through candidate identification and appointment would be relevant to this type of work. Suppliers should be able to operate effectively in the South East and provide a reliable service to a public sector regulator. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist agency can satisfy the requirement, provided it can demonstrate appropriate expertise, candidate reach and delivery capacity for the buyer’s internal hiring needs.
