## Summary

HM Revenue & Customs commissioned executive search and recruitment services for the appointment of a permanent SCS2 IT Commercial Director within its Commercial Directorate. This is a specialist recruitment services requirement, covering the search for and appointment of a senior information technology commercial leader rather than the provision of general staffing or IT delivery. The role sits within HMRC’s commercial function and is intended to support its IT-related commercial responsibilities. The work is to be delivered for HMRC in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is HM Revenue & Customs, based in London. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. HMRC used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 9 August 2026 at 12:00. IRG Advisors LLP trading as Odgers was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026 for £44,500 excluding VAT. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 10 March 2027, giving a six-month term. The awarded scope is the executive search and recruitment service for the permanent SCS2 IT Commercial Director. The recorded award is active, and the awarded supplier is the sole supplier identified for this requirement. The contract value and awarded value are both £44,500 in GBP.

This award demonstrates demand from HMRC for executive search capability focused on senior IT commercial leadership. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show experience in recruiting permanent, senior-level commercial professionals with a strong IT focus, and the ability to run a targeted executive search rather than a high-volume staffing exercise. The successful supplier would need to understand public sector commercial environments and identify candidates able to operate within a government commercial directorate. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist search firm could be competitive if it can evidence relevant senior appointments, a robust candidate network and the capacity to manage the assignment from search through appointment. The incumbent is a large recruitment business specialising in this type of executive search.
