Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport commissioned executive recruitment services for appointments to Great British Railways and the Euston Delivery Company. The requirement covers identifying and supporting senior candidates for executive roles within these transport organisations. It is a services contract in the recruitment services category (CPV 79600000), with delivery across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The work is therefore relevant to executive search firms with the reach to source candidates across multiple jurisdictions and an understanding of senior appointments in major public transport or infrastructure organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 June 2026 to Saxton Bampfylde. The awarded contract value is £87,500 including the stated currency of GBP, running from 22 June 2026 to 17 May 2027. The tender submission deadline was 11 May 2026 at 12:00. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The Department for Transport was the buyer. The award is active, and the contract covers the executive recruitment requirement for both Great British Railways and the Euston Delivery Company. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For recruitment businesses, this award demonstrates public-sector demand for executive search supporting significant rail and transport organisations. A credible future competitor would need specialist executive appointment capability, including the ability to define senior-role requirements, identify suitable candidates, manage confidential approaches and support selection processes for high-profile public bodies. The broad delivery geography favours firms with international sourcing networks alongside strong UK market knowledge. Experience recruiting leaders in rail, transport, infrastructure or other complex, publicly accountable organisations would help establish relevance. Framework access and the ability to deliver a focused call-off efficiently are also important, while smaller specialist firms may be well placed because the requirement was considered suitable for SMEs.
