Summary of the contracting process

NHS Business Services Authority procured recruitment agency services to appoint a Band 9 PMD Director. This is a services requirement focused on executive-level recruitment rather than the supply of goods, construction or general staffing. The work relates to the NHS Business Services Authority and is associated with its Newcastle upon Tyne location. The requirement is classified as recruitment services. The appointed agency was expected to identify and support the recruitment of one senior PMD Director, providing the specialist search and selection capability needed for a high-level NHS appointment. The buyer is a national NHS organisation, making this relevant to recruitment businesses with experience of senior public-sector or healthcare appointments and the capacity to manage an executive recruitment assignment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 July 2026 to REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED. The award value is £24,000 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027. It was a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 2 June 2026 at 12:00. The award is active and covers the recruitment agency requirement for the Band 9 PMD Director. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off route, with suitability recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. A single supplier received the award.

This award demonstrates demand from the NHS Business Services Authority for specialist executive recruitment at Band 9 level. A credible future competitor would need to operate as an established recruitment agency with the reach, senior search capability and delivery capacity to identify suitable candidates for a high-level PMD Director appointment. The result also shows that the buyer used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, so relevant suppliers would benefit from access to an appropriate recruitment framework and familiarity with its call-off processes. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the buyer viewed the requirement as better suited to larger specialist providers, consistent with the award to REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED.
