## Summary

The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) has completed the award phase of a selective procurement process for the "Provision of Executive Recruitment Services", specifically designed to appoint a Service Provider from suppliers approved under the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Framework RM6290, Lot 1. This process, launched to support the recruitment of various executive and senior-level roles, culminated in awarding the contract to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited for a service valued at £21,250. Under this contract, effective from 20th October 2025 to 19th April 2026, the service focuses on recruitment strategies across the United Kingdom within the recruitment services industry category (CPV 79600000). Key activities include candidate search, long and short listing, assessment, and candidate appointment.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses with expertise in executive recruitment in high-hazard and regulatory industries. While Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was awarded the contract, similar tenders could benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing agile and experienced recruitment services. Companies with experience in cross-sector recruitment and familiarity with executive-level placements will be well-suited for prospective opportunities in this domain, supporting the Office for Nuclear Regulation's diverse strategic and regulatory staffing needs.
