The tender titled "Finance and Operations Director Executive Search" falls under the “services” category, specifically recruitment services, as per the CPV classification. This non-competitive, below-threshold procurement method involved a direct award to VEREDUS EXECUTIVE LIMITED, and the procurement process has been completed. The contract was awarded on 20th May 2026 and is set to last until 31st October 2026, with a total gross value of £30,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in executive recruitment services. Companies that can offer comprehensive search services for high-level positions within government agencies are particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Given the government's preference for direct engagement and the stature associated with executive roles, suppliers with robust networks and expertise in the public sector can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and enhance their reputation in the field. Smaller enterprises, such as SMEs, like VEREDUS EXECUTIVE LIMITED, which successfully secured this contract, demonstrate that nimble and specialised firms can effectively meet government procurement needs.
