## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is currently undertaking a recruitment tender titled "UK SBS PS16014 Recruitment of the Managing Director for Life Sciences Investment and Trade". This procurement process pertains to the recruitment services industry and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 26th February 2016, while the awarded contract period runs from 4th March 2016 to 7th May 2016. The total value of the awarded contract is £16,000, with the award date recorded as 7th March 2016.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for business growth, particularly for recruitment consultancies with strong networks within the life sciences sector. Businesses that excel in providing high-quality recruitment services, particularly those with experience in sourcing executives from beyond the civil service, would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts. Engaging in this procurement process could enable these businesses to expand their profiles and portfolios within government contracting.

## Notice

The aim of the tender exercise is to select a recruitment partner/consultancy to recruit the successor to the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Life Sciences Organisation (LSO). The CEO role in the UKTI LSO has been vital to the functioning of the sector team and to inward investment and trade delivery performance. To reflect the move to closer working with the Office for Life Sciences (OLS) from 2016, the role title will change to Managing Director for Life Sciences Investment and Trade, UKTI LSO and Office for Life Sciences. This role faces both internally / across government, and externally to industry and sector partners, and requires a skillset and experience level most likely to be found outside of the Civil Service, which is why the role will be filled through an external recruitment process. To ensure that we attract the best qualified candidates to interview for the role and promote a competitive and fair recruitment process, a recruitment partner/consultancy is the preferred option to help LSO fill the role, leveraging their own industry network and also helping filter and qualify applications received from candidates identified throughout LSO and OLS's networks. Please refer to the attached documentation for the full specification.
