## Summary

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), located at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London, has completed the procurement process for their "Recruitment Advertising & Related Services" contract under a call-off from the ESPO Framework reference 3A_24. This service is essential for supporting the agency's recruitment advertising needs to attract suitable candidates and reach diverse audiences. The procurement employs a selective method via a framework agreement, with the contract period spanning from 30th October 2025 to 29th October 2029. The total value of this award is £220,000, aimed at engaging services within the recruitment industry category (CPV: 79600000), with delivery addresses in regions such as London and the East of England. The procurement status as of 25th January 2026 is complete, following an active award announcement made on 30th December 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in recruitment advertising and related services, offering them a platform to engage with a reputable public agency like the MHRA. Companies that specialise in developing employer branding strategies and maintaining comprehensive online systems for secure order placement and management may find this contract particularly beneficial. Larger enterprises, rather than SMEs or VCSEs, might be more suited to meet the scale and demands of this framework agreement, given the call-off nature and absence of guaranteed service volume or exclusivity. Collaborating with MHRA fosters business growth by positioning companies as key partners in enhancing public sector recruitment capabilities.

## Notice

The Service Provider shall provide secure access to an online web-accessed system interface/dashboard to facilitate the placing of orders/instructions (noting also these may be placed by email and/telephone), tracking progress, transmitting and approving advertisements, and if possible to view and download various performance information and Management Information (MI) etc. The system must be available 24 hours a day, 7 days every week (or as close to this as reasonably possible). There shall be no commitment to commission Services nor guarantee of a minimum or any volume or value of work; nor any exclusivity with the Service Provider in relation to these Services.
