UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales procured executive recruitment search services for a vacant Director of Health Improvement post. The requirement covers identifying and supporting the recruitment search for a senior health improvement leadership appointment. Public Health Wales is the buying organisation, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managing the procurement on its behalf. The service is delivered for Public Health Wales in the United Kingdom. This is a professional recruitment and executive search requirement rather than a general staffing, payroll or temporary labour contract. It will be relevant to recruitment consultancies, executive search firms and specialist leadership appointment providers with experience of sourcing senior candidates for public-sector or health-related organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Alumni Executive Search UK Limited was selected as supplier for the single completed lot. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than an open tender, so the published process does not set out a competitive scoring model or bid deadline. The procurement category is services, classified under recruitment services.

This award shows that Public Health Wales uses an external executive search specialist to recruit senior leadership for a health improvement function. A credible future supplier would need a focused executive recruitment capability, including the ability to search for, assess and support the appointment of candidates to director-level roles. Experience working with public bodies, NHS or wider healthcare organisations would help demonstrate understanding of governance, senior stakeholder expectations and the specialist context of health improvement. Suppliers should be able to manage a targeted search rather than provide high-volume temporary staffing, and demonstrate capacity to handle a time-limited senior appointment from initial search through to a suitable shortlist or appointment. The selected provider is an SME, indicating that specialist firms can deliver this type of requirement.
