Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), a regional or local authority based in Peterborough, has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Exec and Non Exec Recruitment". This process is categorised under recruitment services within the services industry. The procurement, which was completed using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, involves a contract signed as part of a call-off agreement from the ESPO Framework Reference 3S-22 Strategic HR Services. The contract, valued at GBP 1,000,000, was signed on 5th January 2026 with Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited as the supplier, covering recruitment needs in the region of Peterborough, represented by the delivery address region code UKH11.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with the capability to handle large-scale projects involving both executive and non-executive roles. Given the size of the contract and the association with a major framework such as ESPO, large recruitment firms or those looking to expand their portfolio in strategic HR services would find this an advantageous opportunity. The use of a limited procurement method suggests a niche for businesses that are familiar with government frameworks and can offer competitively priced services to secure similar contracts in the future.
