The contract, valued at £124,950, was awarded on 10 August 2021, with the contract period spanning from 27 April 2021 to 13 October 2021. The procurement method used was selective, operating under a call-off from a framework agreement, and the procurement is currently in the award stage.

This tender presents opportunities for large recruitment service firms and consultancies with expertise in executive recruitment, particularly those experienced in handling politically sensitive roles within the health sector. Companies that can demonstrate a robust track record in providing high-level communication professionals would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this sector can lead to substantial growth given the critical nature of communications in health and public service during times of heightened scrutiny and public interest.

## Notice

This resource has been brought in as a specialist in their field for this prominent and politically sensitive role. The decision to award directly was taken by the Chief Customer Officer (CCO) due to the unanticipated roll off of the former Director of Communications who left NHS Test and Trace to take up an urgent role in the Royal Household. The CCO took this step following approval from the Chief Executive at the time, as well as the Secretary of State for Health.
