## Summary

HM Land Registry commissioned executive recruitment services for a full search to appoint someone to a Senior Civil Service Grade 1 role. The requirement falls within recruitment services (CPV 79600000) and is categorised as a service. HM Land Registry is the buying organisation, based at Trafalgar House, 1 Bedford Park, Croydon. The delivery locations cover the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a specialist executive search requirement rather than general recruitment, focused on identifying candidates for a senior civil service leadership position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. HM Land Registry selected GatenbySanderson Limited on 29 July 2026. The awarded value is £39,594. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 12:00. The award relates to the single requirement for the executive search service, and the award value is the value of that requirement. The selected supplier is GatenbySanderson Limited. The procurement used a framework call-off route, so the competitive field was drawn from framework suppliers rather than an unrestricted open tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from HM Land Registry for specialist executive search support at Senior Civil Service Grade 1 level. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be executive recruitment and search firms with the capacity to run a full senior-level search, identify and assess candidates for a public-sector leadership role, and manage the process for a national organisation. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist search firm could be credible where it has the relevant capability and delivery capacity. Experience of senior civil service recruitment would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would access to an appropriate framework agreement for future call-offs by this buyer.
