## Summary

The Ministry of Justice has completed a tender for "SCS Custodial Recruitment," classified under recruitment services. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically awarded without prior publication of a call for competition. The tender was initiated following an unsuccessful in-house recruitment campaign for the position of Executive Director, Custodial Contracts, located in London, UK. The contract, valued at £42,500, was signed on 14 February 2022. The procurement process was governed by a legal framework under CELEX 32014L0024 and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This tender presents an opportunity for recruitment firms with expertise in high-level executive search services, particularly those experienced in public sector placements. Businesses that specialise in strategic talent acquisition, especially within governmental and custodial environments, would be well-positioned to participate in similar future tenders. The use of such specialised services is essential for enhancing leadership within public organisations, thereby contributing to the efficient management of custodial contracts.
