Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Brent has awarded a contract for executive search and selection services to RANSLEY BOARDMAN LLP. This procurement process aimed to support the recruitment of senior leadership positions, specifically targeting roles such as Director of Public Health, Director of Property, and Chief Digital Officer. This contract, initiated as a limited competition below threshold, falls within the services category and was concluded on 25th June 2026. The contract commenced on 23rd June 2026 and is set to end on 23rd June 2027, with a gross value of £52,200. The procurement centred around business services that include law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, and is part of the industry's classified CPV 79000000. The geographic focus for the service delivery is within the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in executive search and recruitment services. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can effectively provide talent acquisition for senior government positions may find this area lucrative. The procurement's nature as a limited competition implies that entities with the capability to deliver specialised recruitment efforts, such as executive headhunting, could leverage their expertise and grow by entering or expanding their presence in the public sector recruitment market. RANSLEY BOARDMAN LLP, a Sheffield-based SME, serves as an exemplary model for other businesses aiming to penetrate this sector.
