UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), located in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Chief Finance and Commercial Officer Executive Search Contract." This procurement falls within the services category, specifically focusing on recruitment services. The procurement was conducted through a direct method below the threshold without competition. It began with the signing of the contract on 11th June 2026 and spans until 11th June 2027. The contract, valued at £25,000, was awarded to Saxton Bampfylde Hever Limited, a large-scale supplier also based in London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in executive recruitment services, particularly those capable of delivering high-level search and recruitment solutions for central government authorities. Large recruitment firms may find this an attractive space for growth, given the specialised nature of the services required by public authorities like the MHRA. Such contracts not only provide financial benefit but also the opportunity to establish or strengthen relationships with central government agencies, potentially leading to future collaborations.
