Notice Title

Executive Search & Selection - Appointments

Notice Description

This is notification that the Department is running an Ojeu Open Procurement for the services described. - (for which see ITT ref number 60207). Interested suppliers need to register on the BMS system if they have not done so already. Details of registration can be found on the attached document and link provided. The DH Appointments Team manages the recruitment and selection process for Public Appointments that are made by the Secretary of State for Health. Ministers decide on whether or not to use executive search for these appointments and decisions are made on a case by case basis, dependent on the profile of the appointment and challenges to recruitment of a particular post. Our appointments include high profile Chair and Non-Executive Director appointments to DH's Arms-Length Bodies, including for example, NHS England, NHS Improvement and the Care Quality Commission. To ensure open competitions attract the very best candidates and a wide and diverse field of applicants and for some campaigns target specialist groups, there is sometimes a need to use executive search to support a campaign. The Department of Health is looking for an organisation to provide primarily, executive search support for key public appointments. Support may also be required for any other appointment for which Ministers have an interest and agree that search support from the DH contract may be used. The Department's default position is not to use executive search when recruiting to public appointment. This also reflects the Government's general view, and the Minister for the Cabinet Office (whose permission to use Executive Search is required) will only agree to the limited use of search. However, there are occasions when Ministers may, as part of the wider recruitment process, choose to use executive search support to strengthen the candidate field. This can be particularly important for key national roles, for certain specialist roles and for engaging with hard to reach groups, where even targeted advertising and use of social media can have limited effect. Search can be particularly effective in engaging with senior figures in the commercial/private sector and generally with those whose experience is out of the health and social care sector. The proposes Contract is expected to be for a period of up to 12 months, with two optional extension periods of up-to a further 12 months each. Please see attached Procurement documents. DH reserves the right to not proceed to Contract for this requirement. Additional information: *Bids must be submitted via the BMS system as per Instructions* This is notification that the Department is running an Ojeu Open Procurement for the services described. - (for which see ITT ref number 60207). Interested suppliers need to register on the BMS system if they have not done so already. Details of registration can be found on the attached document and link provided. The value given excludes the extension options.
