## Summary

The procurement process involves Hampshire County Council, which is seeking to secure a three-year annual subscription to LinkedIn services, primarily for recruitment purposes. This direct procurement type, classified as a subscription service under CPV code 79980000, has reached the award stage as of 19th November 2021. The contract period starts on 21st November 2021 and runs until 20th November 2024. The tender closed on 17th November 2021, with the total contract value being approximately £95,981.76.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the digital services and recruitment industries, particularly those specialising in online subscription platforms or similar services. Companies that can provide competitive subscription services with advanced recruitment tools would be well-suited to engage with public sector contracts, potentially enhancing their market presence and customer base within governmental organisations like Hampshire County Council.

## Notice

The subscription includes recruiter licences (search and selection tool allowing direct contact to prospects) and rolling job slots to promote live vacancies. LinkedIn offer discounts based on term and will provide a discount on a three-year subscription. This is the same discount applied to all government organisations. The amount is collected annually in equal instalments. The platform supports the Council's recruitment strategy, and we envisage needing to use LinkedIn for the foreseeable future, it would be appropriate to commit to a three-year subscription to secure the greatest discount.
