## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has engaged in a procurement process for the provision of recruitment adverts as part of its contracting operations. This procurement, completed as of 16th January 2026, involved a direct award to Indeed UK Operations Limited to ensure continuity in recruiting services. The tender process, under legal directive 2023/54, was executed through a direct procurement method due to Indeed's integration into existing hiring processes, thereby mitigating operational disruptions. The contract commenced on 20th December 2025, with a value of £25,000 and is set to conclude by 25th August 2026, with an optional extension to August 2027. This initiative is headquartered in Liverpool, catering to recruitment services across the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with the capability to service multiple locations efficiently. The opportunity is tailor-made for larger recruitment firms capable of handling public-sector recruitment portfolios and maintaining a strong digital presence, given the focus on online advert distribution across various platforms. The structured direct award process favours well-established enterprises that can ensure seamless integration with existing government recruitment frameworks, offering potential scalability and operational continuity. Business ventures aiming to penetrate or broaden their footprint within government contracts can leverage such opportunities to drive growth and enhance sector-specific expertise.

### Procurement Information
