## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Transport, focusing on the provision of executive search agency services to recruit a new Chair for High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd. Officially titled "Executive Search Agency Procurement", this requirement falls under the recruitment services category. The tender was completed with an award made on 3rd February 2022, after a contract period that started on 13th December 2021 and concluded on 31st July 2022. This procurement was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from the CCS RM6002 framework, and its location is within the United Kingdom.

This opportunity may foster business growth for firms specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with experience in the public sector, as the Department for Transport seeks candidates of high calibre for significant governmental roles. Businesses that have a proven track record in executive recruitment and a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in such appointments would be well-suited to compete. With the backing of the government, participating firms could expand their client base and enhance their credibility within the public sector.

## Notice

This requirement is for the recruitment of a new Chair for High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd. The ESA will be essential for ensuring we obtain candidates of the right calibre, with the necessary skills and expertise for a project of this scale. We have been given approval from SoS and CDL (within the last 12 months) on for the use of ESAs for this recruitment campaign. The ESA will have a specialist Government Practice with a depth of experience working within government, agencies and ALBs. To successfully run a campaign in the tight timescales, DfT's Public Appointments and Shareholder teams will provide guidance and oversight to ESA, but both teams have limited capacity to run such a process without assistance within the time scale. This requirement was procured from the CCS RM6002 framework.
