## Summary

Police Digital Service procured senior executive search consulting services to support the identification and recruitment of senior executives. The work falls within human resources management consultancy services (CPV 79414000) and was intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on executive search rather than general recruitment, so relevant businesses are specialist search firms and human resources consultancies with the capability to advise on senior appointments. The buying organisation is Police Digital Service, based in London. The procurement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement therefore aligns most closely with commercial executive search providers able to work with a UK public-sector client.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Police Digital Service used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to IRG ADVISORS LLP on 31 July 2026 for £60,000 GBP. The contract period ran from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award was for the full senior executive search consulting requirement, with one supplier recorded and no lots identified. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the published information describes the procurement method and requirement but does not set out separate quality, price or other weighted award criteria. The award is active, and the recorded contract period has ended.

This award demonstrates a defined need within Police Digital Service for specialist senior executive search capability, delivered through a public-sector framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need expertise in senior-level search and selection, including the ability to understand complex leadership requirements, identify suitable candidates, manage confidential approaches and provide sound advice to the appointing organisation. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist consultancy can compete alongside larger firms where it has the right framework access, professional capability and delivery capacity. Relevant suppliers should be able to operate across the United Kingdom, work effectively with a public-sector buyer and show a reliable process for handling senior appointments from initial brief through candidate assessment and appointment support.
