UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stonewater Limited procured a subscription to an online job board platform, including an employer branding suite. The service combines recruitment advertising and software functionality to help Stonewater promote vacancies, attract candidates and present its employment offer. The requirement covers recruitment services and software package suites. Delivery spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Stonewater is a public authority operating as the buyer. The requirement was treated as a single service lot and relates to organisation-wide recruitment activity across the English regions listed above. It would be relevant to suppliers of online recruitment platforms, job advertising services, employer branding tools and associated candidate-attraction technology.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Indeed UK Operations Limited. Stonewater used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. The award became active on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2027. Its value is £27,400 excluding VAT, or £32,880 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for the online job board subscription and employer branding suite. This outcome indicates that the buyer selected an established online recruitment platform provider through a below-threshold, non-competitive route. The contract remains active for the stated period, with Indeed UK Operations Limited as the appointed supplier.

For competitors, this procurement demonstrates demand from Stonewater for a managed online job board subscription rather than a one-off recruitment campaign. A credible future supplier would need a functioning job advertising platform, established recruitment-market reach and tools that help employers build and promote their brand to candidates. The requirement also points to the value of combining vacancy advertising with employer branding in one service, supported by reliable software delivery across England. Providers should be able to serve a large public-sector housing organisation, maintain a broad candidate audience and support recurring recruitment activity across multiple regions. Relevant businesses include online job boards, recruitment technology providers, employer branding platforms and recruitment-service firms with integrated digital products.
