UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Aviation Authority bought interim and permanent senior management search and recruitment services. The requirement covers sourcing plans, candidate identification and attraction, candidate mapping and search, candidate assessment and evaluation, and offer management. Recruitment is required across multiple professional disciplines, including aviation, economics, consumer affairs, security and corporate services. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. This is a central government public authority requirement, suited to recruitment and executive search providers able to support senior appointments across varied specialist functions and locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One requirement was awarded to TMP Advisory Limited. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027, with an extension option to 2 August 2028. The contract value is £173,100 excluding VAT and £214,904 including VAT. The contract is active. The extension can add a further 12 months on the same terms, subject to a maximum 24-month period from commencement, and the contract may end earlier if cumulative spend reaches the total contract value. The procurement used the services category and was for recruitment services.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Civil Aviation Authority for senior management recruitment delivered through a limited competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this kind would need credible executive search and recruitment capability covering both interim and permanent appointments. They would need to demonstrate effective sourcing planning, candidate mapping, targeted search, attraction, assessment, evaluation and offer management. Relevant experience across aviation, economics, consumer affairs, security and corporate services would be important, as would the ability to recruit senior candidates across England. Providers should be able to manage several professional disciplines within one service, maintain a strong candidate network and give the Authority confidence in consistent, well-governed appointment processes.
