## Summary

The Home Office, through the Crown Commercial Service, has initiated a public procurement process for the title "Media Assessment and Recruitment." This tender, classified under the services category, is aimed at securing a media partner for a duration of up to three years. The objective is to conduct assessments for candidates in high-profile roles, ensuring selection panels receive comprehensive evaluations in simulated media scenarios. The tender period concluded on 1st February 2017, and the awarded contract is set to commence on 13th March 2017 and last until 12th March 2019. The media partner will be required to operate within the region of London, United Kingdom, under an open procurement method.

This opportunity presents significant potential for business growth for companies that specialise in media training and assessment services. Firms that have expertise in conducting realistic interview simulations, particularly those catering to government or high-stakes public positions, would be ideal candidates for participation. Small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, are encouraged to compete, as the authority indicates a preference for engaging with businesses that meet these criteria, fostering a diverse and competitive procurement environment.

## Notice

The Home Office (hereafter referred to as the Authority), Senior Civil Service Recruitment and Public Appointments Team (the Recruitment Team) is seeking a media partner for a period of up to 3 years, which it can call upon to conduct media assessments. This service will better inform selection panels on the suitability of candidates for often high profile roles across the department and its agencies. The Authority are seeking to award a contract for preparation, delivery and assessment of media assessment exercises to provide selection panels with additional evidence on which to base their decision on whom to appoint as either a public appointee or senior civil servant. These are high profile roles, where post holders will be the focus of intense public and parliamentary scrutiny and it is therefore likely that they will be required to engage with the media. The Authority require shortlisted candidates to be assessed in realistic radio and television interview scenarios, with footage available for the selection panel to view/listen to and to be supported by a written report on each candidate's performance.
