UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons commissioned executive search and selection services to fill Managing Director vacancies. The work covers finding and assessing candidates for senior leadership appointments. The buying organisation is the House of Commons, and the service is based in Westminster, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Archer Mac Ltd. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026, with a contract period running to 23 March 2027 and an option for an additional six months, up to 23 September 2027. The contract value is £27,000 excluding VAT (£32,400 including VAT). The procurement was for one lot. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the House of Commons uses external executive search and selection for Managing Director appointments, through a direct award route in this instance. Suppliers seeking similar work should be able to identify suitable senior candidates and provide a credible, structured search and selection service for high-level public-sector roles. Archer Mac Ltd, an SME, was selected, showing that this requirement was delivered by a small supplier rather than a large recruitment group. The requirement was focused on Managing Director vacancies, so relevant executive-search experience and access to candidates at that level are central to competing when this buyer next needs this specific service.
