Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has completed a public procurement process for the supply of LinkedIn Licenses aimed at enhancing their external media outreach, particularly for civilian job vacancies. The procurement, categorised under 'Job search services' within the services sector, fell outside the scope of a competitive call due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, and was thus conducted through a limited procurement method. This contract, titled "LinkedIn Licenses for External MOD Vacancies", is set to bolster MOD branding and aid in targeted recruitment efforts. The procurement process culminated with the signing of the contract on 23rd November 2024, valued at £153,525 GBP, and involved delivery across the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in digital outreach and job search services, particularly those with proprietary platforms or unique technological capabilities akin to LinkedIn. Given the specialised nature of the procurement, the opportunity was ideally suited for large-scale firms adept in handling extensive media outreach and workforce branding initiatives. Businesses capable of offering highly targeted and effective recruitment solutions would find similar future tenders from the MOD beneficial for expansion. Such contracts not only provide financial growth but also enhance business portfolios by aligning with high-profile government projects.
