Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living procured consultancy services to support the appointment of non-executive directors. The requirement covers recruitment and appointment advice rather than the supply of staff on an ongoing basis, with the awarded service classified as recruitment services (CPV 79600000). Amplius Living is the buying organisation. Delivery is across England, including the Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the East of England and the South East. The procurement was arranged as one service requirement. It is relevant to executive search firms, board recruitment specialists and consultancy businesses experienced in identifying, assessing and advising on candidates for non-executive director appointments. The work is specifically focused on supporting Amplius Living’s governance and board recruitment needs.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Gatenby Sanderson Limited through a below-threshold route, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025, runs from 5 January 2026 to 30 September 2026, and has a gross value of £44,800. The award is active. The published outcome identifies Gatenby Sanderson Limited as the selected supplier. The available procurement record does not set out a separate award date or detailed evaluation weighting. The route and outcome indicate a comparatively focused consultancy engagement rather than a large, multi-lot services framework. The contract is below the relevant threshold and concerns services delivered across the English locations covered by the requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Amplius Living for specialist support with non-executive director appointments. A credible competitor for similar work would need executive search and board recruitment capability, with experience sourcing senior candidates and advising an organisation through appointment decisions. It would need to understand the distinct requirements of non-executive roles, including governance, independence, board composition and the assessment of candidates against organisational needs. The geographic spread means suppliers should be able to support activity across several English regions, while the focused contract indicates that a specialist consultancy team could be relevant without the infrastructure associated with a major national outsourcing arrangement. Businesses in executive recruitment or leadership advisory services can use this award as evidence of the buyer’s demand for targeted board appointment consultancy.
