UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Platform Housing Limited procured recruitment advertising services through membership of the Indeed recruitment portal. The service is intended to support the buyer’s advertising of job vacancies and covers recruitment services across the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns access to Indeed’s online platform rather than the delivery of housing works or property services. It is relevant to businesses providing recruitment advertising, job-board access, talent-attraction platforms or related employer recruitment tools. The buyer is Platform Housing Limited, based in Solihull. The selected supplier is Indeed UK Operations Limited, a large UK-based Indeed operating company. The procurement is therefore focused on a digital recruitment channel used by an employer to reach candidates and promote its vacancies.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award to Indeed UK Operations Limited, under a single completed lot. The stated rationale was continuation of the buyer’s partnership with Indeed, described as providing the most recognised recruitment across the job market. The awarded value is £40,537 gross, including applicable taxes, and the procurement is classified as recruitment services. The award was recorded on 12 August 2026. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 1 August 2028. The award is above the relevant threshold. This was not an open competition: the buyer used a direct-award route. The published outcome identifies Indeed as the selected supplier for the full requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates established demand from Platform Housing Limited for a managed online channel to advertise vacancies and reach candidates. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a recruitment platform with broad employer and candidate recognition, practical vacancy advertising functionality, and the capacity to support the buyer’s recruitment activity across the United Kingdom. Experience serving sizeable employers would be relevant, as would evidence that the platform can provide dependable access, suitable vacancy visibility and an effective route to applicants. The direct-award route and the buyer’s stated preference for continuing its partnership show that supplier credibility, market reach and continuity of service would be important when competing for this specific recruitment-platform requirement.
