## Summary

The Cabinet Office procured executive search and selection services for its DG Household Consumers & Energy Retail function. This is a recruitment services requirement, classified under CPV 79600000, covering the identification and selection of senior candidates for a UK government organisation. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the public sector and concerns specialist executive recruitment rather than general staffing, payroll, interim resourcing or training. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity are therefore businesses with a proven executive search capability and the capacity to support senior appointments for central government. The Cabinet Office was the buying organisation and the selected provider was IRG Advisors LLP (Odgers).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to IRG Advisors LLP (Odgers) on 28 August 2026 for £33,000. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. This outcome records one supplier and one awarded value; the requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that the Cabinet Office uses framework call-offs for specialist executive recruitment supporting senior government functions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need established executive search and selection expertise, including the ability to identify, assess and present suitable senior candidates rather than provide routine recruitment administration. Experience of public-sector or central-government appointments would strengthen its position, alongside robust candidate research, assessment, governance and delivery processes. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist search firm could be relevant if it can demonstrate sufficient capacity, quality controls and a track record of delivering senior recruitment assignments at comparable scale.
