## Summary

The procurement process involves Crown Estate Scotland, seeking to establish a framework for Recruitment Agency Services (Permanent Roles) specifically for their Energy and Infrastructure team. This open tender primarily categorises under recruitment services within the services industry, and takes place in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with a budget set at £240,000 and a contract period of two years, which may be extended for an additional two 12-month periods based on performance. The deadline for submission was 9 July 2021.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with expertise in sectors such as offshore wind, oil and gas, renewables, and the hydrogen economy. Companies demonstrating a strong understanding of the energy market and the required specialist skill sets are encouraged to participate, as the contract seeks an agency with proven experience in these areas rather than generalists. Engaging in this contract could thus enhance a business's portfolio and open avenues for future partnerships within this growing sector.

## Notice

framework for a specialist recruitment agency to source candidates for permanent roles (including known requirements for eight additional posts over the next two years and any other similar roles which may be required) within our Energy and Infrastructure team (E&I).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Crown Estate Scotland is seeking to appoint an agency to assist with permanent recruitment to further build our team in Energy & Infrastructure which is part of our Marine Directorate. This is to support significant growth in this area of the business. Crown Estate Scotland specifically requires additional skills around innovation, oil and gas and associated offshore wind opportunities and to source specialist skills from a range of sectors. The appointed agency will exclusively source candidates for permanent roles (including a known requirement for eight additional posts over the next two years and any other similar roles which may be required) within our Energy and Infrastructure team (E&I). Given our unique role in this market and our requirement to source talent directly from a breadth of sectors it is therefore essential that we appoint a suitable agency who operates in these markets, and has the required capacity, networks and experience in the private sector to take on this work. Our strong preference is to procure and appoint one agency to lead on this campaign for a period of time and to also work on any similar roles which arise over the course of the framework term. Skills, knowledge, experience and understanding of the agency will span a number of industries including offshore wind, renewables, oil and gas, hydrogen economy and wave and tidal and it has already been determined that a generalist agency without direct, demonstrated and current experience recruiting these areas of specialism may not have either the capacity or infrastructure to deal with our requirements. Crown Estate Scotland does not guarantee any volumes of usage throughout the life of this Framework Agreement. Additional information: The agency will have recruited for a number of industries including offshore wind, renewables, oil and gas, hydrogen economy and wave and tidal. A generalist agency without direct, demonstrated and current experience recruiting these areas of specialism may not have either the capacity or infrastructure to deal with our requirements.

Options: option to extend for up to 2 X 12 Months] at the discretion of Crown Estate Scotland and subject to satisfactory performance, available funding and strategic fit with the priorities of Crown Estate Scotland

Renewal: The framework contract will run for an initial TWO YEARS from the date of signing the agreement with the option to extend for up to 2 X 12 Months] at the discretion of Crown Estate Scotland and subject to satisfactory performance, available funding and strategic fit with the priorities of Crown Estate Scotland
