UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs commissioned recruitment services to fill a senior civil service post: a Senior Civil Service 1 (SCS1) appointment as Head of the SRE Agency within the department. The requirement was for recruitment of a named leadership role, rather than general staffing or a broad recruitment programme. Delivery covered HMRC locations across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is HM Revenue & Customs, a central government department.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Global Resourcing Ltd. HMRC used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. The award date is not stated in the available process details; the contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 21 September to 20 December 2026. The contract value is £25,900 excluding VAT (£31,080 including VAT). The recorded procurement was for recruitment services, with no separate evaluation criteria described.

This award shows demand from HMRC for specialist recruitment support to appoint senior civil service leadership, specifically at SCS1 level. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to identify and engage candidates suitable for a senior departmental leadership post, and to manage recruitment for a defined role rather than provide general staffing. The selected supplier was Global Resourcing Ltd, recorded as an SME, demonstrating that a small or medium-sized recruitment business was selected for this requirement. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model or disclosed selection requirements for future opportunities. Credibility for similar HMRC requirements will depend on relevant senior-level recruitment capability and the ability to serve the department’s locations across England.
