Summary of the contracting process

UK Government Investments Limited procured recruitment services through a subscription to LinkedIn Recruiter services. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and supports the organisation’s recruitment activity through access to LinkedIn’s recruiter platform. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. This is a services contract rather than a works or goods requirement. The buyer is UK Government Investments Limited, a UK government investment organisation. The selected supplier is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, which provides the LinkedIn Recruiter service. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement is therefore most relevant to recruitment technology providers, talent acquisition platforms and organisations able to supply recruiter-system subscriptions for UK-based corporate use.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1 February 2026, and the award was made on 10 February 2026. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company received the award at £34,940 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement’s estimated value range was £17,470 to £34,940. The awarded contract runs from 25 February 2026 to 24 February 2028. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement rather than separate lots. The award is active. The source records the contract as a recruitment-services subscription, with suitability for SMEs. The award basis is the framework call-off procedure rather than a separately stated tender evaluation model.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for paid access to a professional recruitment platform rather than outsourced recruitment delivery. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a mature recruiter search and sourcing product, access to a substantial professional talent network, and tools that support candidate identification and recruitment workflows. Suppliers should also be able to provide subscription-based commercial terms, dependable service delivery across the United Kingdom, and implementation or account support suitable for a public-sector organisation. Recruitment technology businesses and specialist talent-acquisition platforms are the closest fit. Smaller providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate comparable platform capability, service reliability and experience supporting organisational recruitment teams.
