Summary of the contracting process

The Environment Agency commissioned executive recruitment services to appoint a Director of Incident Management, Operational Risk and Resilience. The work covered advertising the role, identifying suitable candidates, shortlisting applicants and preparing them for interview, as well as background research and psychometric profiles for shortlisted candidates. The requirement was for one senior leadership appointment, rather than a general recruitment campaign. The service falls within executive recruitment and executive services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been signed. Saxton Bampfylde was selected to deliver the recruitment service through a direct award without competition, below the relevant threshold. The single lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 2 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT (£42,000 including VAT). The award data also records a scheduled signature milestone of 5 October 2026, although the contract record gives the signature date as 2 October. No scored evaluation criteria are recorded; the award followed a non-competitive route.

For recruitment firms competing for similar Environment Agency requirements in future, this award shows demand for specialist executive search and selection for a senior operational risk, incident management and resilience role. A credible supplier would need to advertise effectively, source and assess worthwhile candidates, manage shortlisting and prepare candidates for interview. The work also required background research and psychometric profiling of shortlisted candidates, so capability in senior-level assessment and candidate due diligence would be relevant. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement, and the selected provider is a large recruitment firm. These characteristics indicate that relevant executive recruitment experience and the ability to deliver the complete search and assessment process are important to matching this buyer’s requirement.
