## Summary

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), headquartered in London, England, has completed the Executive Search procurement process for recruitment services, under the contract identification PROC 026-2025. The tender, worth £700,000, falls under the services industry category, specifically recruitment services classified under CPV code 79600000. The procurement method utilised was selective, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 19th May 2025, and the contract began on 1st June 2025, extending until 31st May 2029. The award was published on Contracts Finder on 20th June 2025, marking the procurement's transition from tendering to the award stage with an active contract status.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for firms specialising in executive search and recruitment services, particularly larger organisations, as the procurement is not suited for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses with a robust framework agreement in place and those capable of providing high-quality recruitment services will find this contract particularly advantageous. Engaging with a significant government body such as the CMA may offer broader visibility and opportunity for future collaborations within the public sector, fostering further growth and establishment in the industry.
