## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a public procurement process for Development Consultancy Services, under the title "DNO 425 Executive Recruitment Services." This procurement falls within the broader industry category of recruitment services and is classified as a Call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with the contract being awarded on 19th November 2024. The contract period extends from 19th November 2024 to 31st March 2025. The service will be provided throughout the South West region, and the contract value is set at £65,000 GBP, with a tender period that concluded on 15th November 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in executive recruitment and development consultancy services to engage with the Ministry of Defence, a major public sector organisation. It is especially beneficial for larger organisations like Korn Ferry, who won the contract, due to the selective procurement method from a framework agreement. However, smaller enterprises or voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not marked as suitable for this particular tender. Engaging in such contracts can enhance a business's reputation, provide stable revenue streams, and strengthen relationships within the public sector.
