This procurement process involved Cornwall Council as the buying organisation, seeking professional search partner services to support its senior recruitment activities under the title "Contract for Executive Search". The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on business services such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, and more, classified under CPV 79000000. Located in the United Kingdom, the tender was conducted using a limited method below the threshold, resulting in an active contract award to Faerfield Limited.
