Summary of the contracting process

The Government Legal Department (GLD) has completed a selective procurement process titled "CLG Recruitment Pilot" to provide strategic recruitment support for legal staff. The procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, specifically targeting recruitment services within the United Kingdom. The tender was initiated on a framework and proceeded to the award stage, with an award date of 3rd October 2025. Key contractual activities take place from 3rd November 2025 to 2nd November 2026, and the contract was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited, with a tender value of £204,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for recruitment firms, especially those familiar with frameworks and capable of matching legal expertise to specific client needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this opportunity, although the contract was ultimately awarded to a large supplier, Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited. Companies that specialize in recruitment services, particularly for the legal sector, may find similar opportunities beneficial in expanding their market presence and establishing lasting collaborations with governmental organisations such as the Government Legal Department.
