## Summary

The Crown Estate procured a total workforce solution covering contingent workforce services, permanent recruitment, resource augmentation and engagement through statements of work. The aim is to provide a consistent, streamlined and cost-effective approach across these different types of workforce engagement. This is a recruitment and workforce services requirement, classified under CPV 79600000, delivered in London, United Kingdom. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and covers the buyer’s workforce needs across the full range of engagement models described. It is a single integrated requirement, bringing together recruitment, temporary or contingent staffing, additional resource and statement-of-work engagements under one workforce solution.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Alexander Mann Solutions. The award was made on 1 August 2026 for £100,000,000, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2030. The tender submission deadline was 9 July 2026. This was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies recruitment services as the classification and the main category as services. The award covers the integrated workforce solution described for The Crown Estate and was not divided into separately reported lots or awards.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from The Crown Estate for an integrated workforce partner able to manage several engagement routes within one operating model. Competitors would need capability across contingent workforce delivery, permanent recruitment, resource augmentation and statement-of-work engagements, rather than expertise limited to one recruitment niche. They would also need the capacity to coordinate these services consistently for a London-based public-sector buyer, with processes that support streamlined delivery and cost control. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and the ability to manage a broad, multi-service workforce requirement are relevant competitive strengths. Experience joining recruitment and wider workforce solutions into a coherent service would be important when this requirement next reaches the market.
