UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The British Business Bank procured recruitment services for temporary and permanent human resources and risk staff. The requirement covers sourcing and supplying personnel for HR and risk functions across the United Kingdom. It is a services contract for recruitment activity rather than the direct employment of a defined works or goods package. The buying organisation is the British Business Bank, a central government public authority based in Sheffield. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering recruitment support for both temporary and permanent staffing needs. The relevant business area is specialist public-sector recruitment, particularly agencies able to identify candidates for HR and risk roles and manage temporary and permanent appointments nationwide.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Fiser Group Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, in line with the British Business Bank’s Standing Financial Instructions. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2027. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The award covers one lot and recruitment services delivered in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is The Fiser Group Limited. The published outcome therefore records a completed, single-supplier procurement rather than an open competitive tender, with the requirement evaluated through the buyer’s permitted direct-award route.

For recruitment businesses, this procurement demonstrates demand from the British Business Bank for a combined HR and risk staffing service covering both temporary and permanent appointments. A credible future competitor would need recruitment capability in both disciplines, access to suitable specialist candidates, and the operational capacity to support appointments across the United Kingdom. Experience of handling different engagement types would be important, as the requirement spans short-term staffing and permanent hiring rather than a single recruitment model. Suppliers should also be able to work within a central government buyer’s financial and administrative controls, understand the requirements of HR and risk roles, and provide a dependable service at the scale of a single-bank staffing requirement. The awarded route also shows that this buyer has used a below-threshold direct-award mechanism for the need.
