## Summary

The Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom, located at 70 Whitehall, London, has successfully completed the procurement process titled "Director General, Defence Chief Digital & Information Officer" under the industry category of recruitment services. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement and was marked complete with the awarding stage finalised on 12th December 2025. The total value for this contract is £60,000, and it is specifically designed for execution from 10th December 2025 to 9th December 2026. The contract, aimed at recruiting high-level executive personnel for digital and information roles within the defence sector, indicates an active status and has been awarded to KORN FERRY WHM LLP.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale recruitment service providers capable of delivering executive search and selection services in the digital and technology spheres. Businesses focusing on defence sector recruitment and those with experience in fulfilling similar framework agreements are well-suited to compete in future opportunities. SMEs may also find similar tenders appealing, given the Cabinet Office's attention to small business suitability in their criteria, while the limited nature of voluntary, community, and social enterprise involvement suggests a focus on broader-scale operations.
