UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for an HR Consultant conducted by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) focuses on strategic HR advice and complex employee relations matters. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method to Ripples HR Ltd, highlighting the need for immediate HR support. The procurement, handled under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, covers human resources management consultancy services within the United Kingdom, specifically in the region of Banbury. The award status is pending, with the contract set to commence on 12th January 2026 and expected to conclude on 12th March 2026, with the possibility of an additional one-month extension, aiming to align with UK employment law and WRAP's wider people strategy.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in HR consultancy, particularly those experienced in organisational development and employee relations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Ripples HR Ltd, which secured the contract, may find this opportunity beneficial to expand their portfolio in the public sector. Firms equipped to offer strategic HR solutions and coaching for management would be well-positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities, leveraging the emergency nature that bypasses the usual competitive tender procedures and strengthens relationships within the public sector.
