Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process for executive recruitment services, conducted by The Pensions Regulator, has concluded with a successful award. The contract, valued at £135,000, is for recruitment services specifically targeting executive roles as classified under the CPV code 79600000. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period begins on 9th January 2026 and ends on 8th July 2026, with services being delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom. Although the tender stage has reached completion with the contract awarded to IRG Advisors LLP (Odgers), the entire process showcases the structured approach of the contracting authority and highlights their commitment to sourcing top-tier talent for executive positions.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those that focus on executive roles. As the procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, companies already positioned within such frameworks are prime candidates for participating in similar tenders. The project is well-suited for medium to large recruitment agencies with the capacity to manage high-level roles and deliver services throughout England. For SMEs, this framework arrangement provides a pathway to expand their government contracting portfolio, provided they align with the specific requirements set by organisations like The Pensions Regulator.
