## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is conducting a public procurement process titled "UK SBS PS16070 Executive Search for Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Chair." This initiative is aimed at securing executive search and selection services for the appointment of a new chair for the non-executive Nuclear Decommission Authority Board, with the current chair's term expiring on 28 February 2017. The procurement is classified under the recruitment services industry category and is currently in the Award stage, having concluded the tender period on 25 April 2016. The awarded contract is valued at £55,000 and spans a contract period from 29 April 2016 to 29 July 2016, with documents published on 9 March 2017.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant growth avenue for businesses specialising in executive search and recruitment services, particularly those that cater to public sector appointments. Companies accustomed to delivering high-level executive recruitment for governmental and regulatory bodies would be particularly well-suited to compete in this tender. The open procedure method allows for wider participation, thus providing smaller enterprises a chance to demonstrate their capabilities alongside more established firms in the industry.

## Notice

The aim of this exercise is to find executive search and selection capability to support the appointment of the chair of the non-executive Nuclear Decommission Authority (NDA) Board. The current term of the Chairman expires on 28 February 2017, at the end of his third term of office. In line with the Code of Practice of the Officer of the Commissioner for Public Appointments (OCPA) no individual can serve more than 10 years in a single post and so a replacement is necessary. We would like the prospective chair to be chosen by the end of July and to be in place as chair-designate for the November 2016 Board, fully taking the over the role in February 2017. Please refer to the attached Invitation to Quote document for the full specification.
