UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Companies House purchased access to the Indeed and Glassdoor recruitment platforms. The service covers sponsored job advertising and employer branding through Indeed and Glassdoor company pages. It is a recruitment advertising and employer-branding service, intended to help Companies House promote vacancies and present itself to prospective employees. The buyer is Companies House, the UK government department responsible for the register of companies. The procurement is for platform access rather than recruitment agency services or the supply of staff. The contract information does not identify a particular delivery site; the service is digital, with the buyer based in Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Companies House awarded the single-lot contract directly to Indeed UK Operations Ltd, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award is for recruitment platform access; no separate award amount or award date is recorded. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2028. Its gross value is £99,647, with a stated net value of £77,228.25. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are set out. The award covers the full requirement as one lot; the supplier selected is Indeed UK Operations Ltd.

This award shows that Companies House buys paid access to recruitment platforms, including sponsored vacancy listings and employer-branding pages on Indeed and Glassdoor. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide access to job advertising and employer-profile tools across relevant recruitment platforms, together with the ability to support employer branding. Suppliers should be able to explain how their platforms help a public-sector employer reach candidates and present its organisation consistently. The incumbent is a large platform operator, so competing providers would need an established recruitment audience and dependable platform services suited to an organisation-wide requirement. The route used here was a direct award below the procurement threshold, rather than an openly competed selection; the notice gives no technical specifications or accreditation conditions to use as further benchmarks.
