## Summary

The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London have completed a procurement process to exclusively undertake recruitment services for the position of US Managing Director. This contract falls under the services category, with recruitment services being the main procurement focus. The process was conducted using a limited competition method due to being below the financial threshold. The successful supplier, Korn Ferry, has been awarded the contract, which is active from 24th July 2025 to 31st October 2025. Based in the City of London, this procurement process involved sub-central government authority, ensuring adherence to the legal framework provided under the UKPGA legislation 2023/54.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses within the recruitment services industry, particularly those capable of providing robust and specialised executive search solutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), like Korn Ferry, which succeeded in securing this contract, have the chance to demonstrate their expertise and grow their portfolios by delivering high-calibre recruitment outcomes under public authority contracts. Such contracts provide a pathway for SMEs to expand their footprint within the public sector and gain visibility with larger governmental entities. Due to the nature of this below-threshold, limited competition procurement, businesses offering niche recruitment services are well-positioned to leverage their specialised capabilities to compete effectively.
