Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured a web-based recruitment applicant tracking system. The system covers the recruitment workflow from advertisement approval and publication through shortlisting, interview booking and scheduling, and onboarding. Onboarding includes employment contracts and references. It also supports recruitment advertising for schools and charities and provides the main source of workforce recruitment data. This is a software and information systems requirement rather than a staffing or recruitment agency service. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Bromley, a local authority based in Bromley. The requirement is for a single integrated system serving the council’s recruitment operations and associated schools and charities.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Havas People Ltd was selected under a direct award from the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The contract was signed on 1 January 2026 for £112,712. The award relates to the single requirement, although the associated lot is recorded as cancelled. Price was the stated award criterion. One electronic bid was received, from a large supplier, and no SME bids were recorded. The published outcome identifies Havas People Ltd as the successful supplier. The procurement falls under the Government Procurement Agreement and was justified as outside the scope of the relevant directive.

For suppliers assessing future council recruitment technology requirements, this procurement shows demand for an end-to-end applicant tracking platform rather than a standalone vacancy advertising tool. A credible competitor would need to support approval and publication of adverts, candidate shortlisting, interview scheduling, onboarding, employment contract and reference workflows, and recruitment activity for schools and charities. The platform would also need to function as a central source of recruitment workforce data. The buyer used a framework direct-award route and evaluated the requirement on price, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need a relevant framework position or another compliant route to market, alongside a demonstrably competitive commercial offer. The single bid and award to a large supplier indicate that scale and established delivery capability may be commercially relevant.
