This tender, under the industry category of recruitment services, was specifically structured as a call-off from a framework agreement, marking a selective procurement method. The contract was awarded to Salt Recruitment and has been active from 13th January 2026, concluding on 31st March 2026. The award, valued at GBP 30,000, was published on 9th March 2026. The procurement activity took place in England, with tendering initially set within a period that concluded with a contract award notice on 19th December 2025.

For businesses looking to expand, joining a framework agreement like this can offer a route to secure consistent work and collaboration with esteemed institutions like the Bank of England. This opportunity is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in recruitment services, as the tender was suitable for such organisations, although it did not cater to voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE). Larger firms similar to Salt Recruitment, with an established base and resources, are well-positioned to leverage such contracts to enhance their market reputation and client base in the recruitment sector across England.
