Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has completed the TfL 96871 Talent Mapping Framework procurement process, categorised under recruitment services (CPV code 79600000). The framework agreement, lasting four years, aims to provide insights and tools to TfL’s executive Talent Acquisition team, supporting their recruitment and retention strategies for senior and top-level management. This open procedure process culminated in contract awards to five service providers: Penna Plc, Research Europe Ltd, Talent Insight Group Limited, TMP Advisory Ltd T/A Miles Advisory, and Wilbury Stratton Consultants Ltd, all signed on 16th January 2025. The framework is accessible for use by the Greater London Authority (GLA), its Functional Bodies, the Metropolitan Police Service, and the London Fire Brigade, if required.

This tender offers extensive growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those equipped to meet high-pressure demands with quick turnaround times.
