## Summary

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) procured recruitment agency services to fill temporary, fixed-term and contractor vacancies across a range of organisational specialisms. The agency’s work includes sourcing and briefing suitable candidates, holding preliminary discussions to assess their interest and suitability, arranging briefing meetings, and advising GPhC on candidate requirements. It also provides salary benchmarking and market information and works with GPhC to plan and agree each recruitment exercise before a campaign begins. This is a UK-wide requirement covering England, Scotland and Wales. The work is recruitment services (CPV 79600000), bought by the General Pharmaceutical Council, based in London.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to The Graduate Project Limited. The award was made on 18 June 2026, for £100,000. The contract runs from 19 June 2026 to 18 June 2030. GPhC used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 June 2026 at midday. The contract covers recruitment support for temporary, fixed-term and contractor roles; the published award records a single supplier and a single contract value. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active.

For recruitment firms, this award shows that GPhC buys agency support spanning multiple organisational specialisms and employment arrangements, rather than recruitment for one defined role. A credible competitor would need to source and assess candidates, brief them on roles, arrange meetings and advise the buyer on candidate requirements. The work also calls for recruitment planning with the client, including agreeing the approach before campaigns begin, and the ability to provide relevant salary benchmarks and market intelligence. Suppliers able to deliver this coordinated service across England, Scotland and Wales would be well placed to meet the same requirement. The award went to an SME, indicating that a smaller supplier can deliver the service; the recorded scale is consistent with a specialist recruitment provider rather than a large, multi-sector programme.
