UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership procured recruitment services under the “Recruit with Purpose” requirement. The work covers recruitment activity for the partnership, with delivery across the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buying organisation is The Guinness Partnership, a public undertaking based in London. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and relates to the recruitment services category, covering businesses that provide candidate sourcing, recruitment consultancy, selection and related hiring support. It is relevant to recruitment agencies and specialist staffing providers able to support a large housing organisation operating across the UK. The named requirement indicates a focused recruitment service rather than a general corporate services contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Guinness Partnership used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. Recruit With Purpose was selected as the supplier, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 29 May 2026 and runs from 3 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £68,250 excluding VAT and £819,000 including VAT. The award covers the single recruitment services lot and delivery across the UK. The published procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis; the key commercial facts are the direct-award route, the selected recruitment supplier, the contract term and the separate net and gross values. The process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

This award provides a clear signal that The Guinness Partnership buys externally delivered recruitment support at substantial scale across the UK. A competitor preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need an established recruitment operation, strong candidate-generation and assessment processes, and the capacity to handle hiring activity across multiple locations. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating reliable delivery for a large public undertaking, effective account management and the ability to provide suitable candidates consistently rather than for a single vacancy. Recruitment firms with UK-wide reach, evidence of successful comparable assignments and robust compliance and reporting arrangements would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns to the market. The relevant commercial focus is recruitment services for The Guinness Partnership.
