Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Freebridge Community Housing Limited procured executive recruitment services to support appointments to senior leadership roles. The requirement is for recruitment expertise rather than general staffing: suppliers serving housing organisations and recruiting executives are the closest fit. Delivery is associated with King’s Lynn, where Freebridge is based. The procurement is categorised as recruitment services. The selected provider, Greenacre Recruitment Ltd, is a specialist recruitment company. This purchase shows that Freebridge uses external executive recruitment support; businesses with a track record of senior-level search and selection for organisations of a similar type are most directly relevant when assessing this buyer’s requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Greenacre Recruitment Ltd. Freebridge used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2027. The estimated procurement value and awarded contract value are both £80,000. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 1pm. The procurement was presented as a single requirement, with no lots described. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be further characterised.

For recruitment firms, this award is evidence of demand from a community housing provider for executive-level hiring support, delivered as a defined service rather than a broad recruitment arrangement. Greenacre Recruitment Ltd, identified as an SME, secured the work, demonstrating that a smaller provider can be selected for this requirement. A credible competitor would need to show the ability to identify and assess senior candidates, manage executive search and selection, and deliver appointments suited to a housing organisation’s leadership needs. Relevant experience with community housing providers or comparable public-service organisations would help demonstrate sector understanding. The route used was a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work from Freebridge would need access to an appropriate framework and the capability to compete through its call-off process. Suitability was also indicated for voluntary and community organisations.
