## Summary

The Ministry of Justice procured recruitment services for two senior public appointments: the Chair of the Youth Justice Board and a Non-Executive Director of the Ministry of Justice Departmental Board. This is a professional recruitment and executive search requirement, classified under CPV 79600000 (recruitment services). The work supports appointments connected with youth justice and departmental governance rather than the delivery of operational services. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and a wide international footprint, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The Ministry of Justice is the buying organisation, based in London.

This procurement is concluded and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from Lot 3, Non-Executive and Public Appointments, of the Government Commercial Agency RM6290 Executive and Non-Executive Recruitment Services framework. Green Park was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026 for £52,500. The contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 11:00. The requirement was handled as a direct award under the framework, rather than a new open competition. The award is active and the tender is complete. The procurement covered a single combined requirement for both appointments, with no separate lot awards or alternative evaluation outcome recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Justice for specialist executive recruitment supporting high-profile public appointments and departmental boards. Suppliers best placed for comparable work will have a credible executive search capability, experience recruiting chairs, non-executive directors or other senior public-sector leaders, and the ability to assess candidates against governance, leadership and public-service requirements. Relevant firms should understand the sensitivities of appointments linked to youth justice and central government, including stakeholder management, confidentiality and robust candidate due diligence. The requirement also shows the value of access to an approved public-sector recruitment framework and the capacity to manage appointments across the United Kingdom and international locations. A strong supplier would combine senior search expertise with sufficient reach to identify and engage suitably qualified candidates.
