Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the "HR offer Contract" was conducted by the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), a body governed by public law in the United Kingdom. This procurement, categorised under Business organisation services, falls within the services industry and is specifically related to refining and articulating the HR offer of MaPS. The process was completed with the award being active since 15th January 2026. The procurement utilised a limited method, awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition due to its classification as falling outside the scope of the directive. Relevant activities targeted the UKH24 region in the UK, focusing on strategic HR engagement and planning without involving a full policy overhaul.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs offering consultancy and strategic HR services, especially those that excel in developing HR narratives and value propositions. Companies like Intelligent Emotion, which secured the contract valued at £75,000, exemplify the type of business that can benefit from such procurement processes. With its emphasis on HR integration with existing competencies and organisational strategies, service providers in the UK, particularly those with a track record in light-touch colleague engagements and HR strategy formulation, could leverage this tender to showcase their expertise and expand their portfolio in public sector contracts.
