## Summary

The Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Executive Level Roles - Recruitment and Selection Services" as part of the public sector's initiative. This process involved direct procurement, classified under services, specifically recruitment services, with no competition required due to the below-threshold status. The contract, valued at £86,000, ran from 16 December 2024 until 28 November 2025, and covered recruitment for various executive roles. Delivered at the UKK region in the United Kingdom, all roles were successfully filled, marking the procurement stage as complete. Key players in this process were the buyer, Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority, and the supplier, Fire Knowledge Ltd, an SME based in Shoreham-by-Sea.

This procurement presents insights into potential business opportunities for SMEs specialising in recruitment and executive search services, particularly those capable of fulfilling direct procurement contracts for public authorities without engaging in competitive tendering. Such opportunities are particularly suited to businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector, where direct relationships with sub-central government entities like the Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Authority can lead to further collaboration. Companies that can offer specialised recruitment services for executive levels in the public sector can leverage their expertise to gain more such contracts, reinforcing their position in this niche market.
