Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions, based in Leeds, has recently awarded a contract titled "Local Recruitment of Senior Software Engineer" for recruitment services in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process was completed through a direct award method, allowing the department to select a local supplier, Chroma Recruitment, after a previous attempt with a larger organisation failed to fill all vacancies. The contract was awarded on 22nd October 2021, with a total value of £10,000, and covers the period from 1st November 2021 to 29th April 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer localised support. Companies with expertise in sourcing candidates for technical roles such as software engineers would be well-suited to engage in similar future procurements. The local focus of this contract suggests a preference for suppliers who understand the North West job market and can effectively fill vacancies in the region.
