Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process undertaken by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) focuses on the provision of recruitment services within the UK. The tender, titled "Permanent Recruitment," falls under the services category, specifically targeting recruitment services (CPV code 79600000). This process has been completed, with the contract being awarded on 20th January 2026. The procurement method used was a limited process without prior publication due to the call-off from an existing Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Framework, RM6229. The award was made to Venn Group, which will provide recruitment services for permanent, fixed-term, and internal secondment roles. The primary location for service delivery is across the United Kingdom, and the contractual value is £150,000.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in recruitment services, particularly those offering expertise in hiring for permanent and secondment positions. The procurement process, aligned with an established framework, is ideal for large-scale recruitment firms like Venn Group, although smaller operators may find opportunities in future tender processes under similar frameworks. Companies positioned to offer competitive pricing and demonstrate efficiency in delivering recruitment services can look to compete in similar tenders within this industry category, bolstered by strong track records in service delivery and a robust understanding of regional recruitment needs within the public sector.
