UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions bought an advertising package for RICS Recruit and Modus for the 2026/27 period. The requirement is classified as recruitment services, covering the promotion of recruitment-related activity through the named RICS Recruit and Modus channels or products. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buying organisation is a central government department. The supplier, We Are Sunday, is based in London. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing recruitment advertising, employer-brand communications, recruitment marketing or associated campaign services, particularly those able to support public-sector recruitment activity and work across established recruitment platforms. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages or works.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to We Are Sunday. The Department for Work & Pensions used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and runs from 19 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £11,015 excluding VAT, or £13,218 including VAT. The award covers one lot and is recorded as active; the associated contract is also active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract title is RICS Recruit and Modus – Advertising Package – 2026/27. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This award shows that the Department for Work & Pensions purchases targeted recruitment advertising for named recruitment services, using a direct, below-threshold route for a relatively contained requirement. Businesses monitoring this buyer should therefore be able to deliver recruitment-focused advertising rather than general media buying alone, and should understand how to promote opportunities through the relevant recruitment channels. A credible competitor would benefit from experience in recruitment marketing, employer communications, campaign planning and delivery, with the operational capacity to support a central government client. We Are Sunday is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that supplier scale may be relevant when the department next reviews a comparable requirement. Familiarity with public-sector governance and compliant contract delivery would also strengthen a competing proposition.
