Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Cabinet Office procured executive search and selection services to recruit a Director for the Serious Fraud Office. This is a specialist senior-level recruitment assignment focused on identifying and selecting a candidate for a leadership role. The work is for the Cabinet Office, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Saxton Bampfylde. The award was made on 3 September 2026, for £40,000. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. The Cabinet Office used a selective procurement, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part.

This award shows demand from the Cabinet Office for executive search and selection to fill a senior leadership position at the Serious Fraud Office. Suppliers competing for similar work would need to demonstrate the ability to identify and assess candidates for high-level public-sector appointments. The successful provider was Saxton Bampfylde, which is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist firm can deliver this type of assignment. The opportunity is most relevant to recruitment businesses with executive search capability and experience matching senior candidates to demanding leadership roles.
