## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University has completed a procurement process for the pilot of an "AI Multi Mini Interview Solution," awarded to SAMMI-SELECT LTD. This procurement, categorised under services, involves educational software packages, video conferencing software, IT services, and recruitment services, and covers delivery in Sheffield, UK. The contract commenced on 14th May 2026 and is set to conclude on 13th May 2028. The procurement utilised a direct method below the competitive threshold, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 guidelines, and was implemented without competition to swiftly trial a unique, research-validated platform.

The AI Multi Mini Interview Solution offers businesses the chance to engage with an innovative technology that aims to enhance recruitment processes, potentially boosting operational efficiency and improving equality, diversity, and inclusion outcomes. Enterprises specialising in educational technology, IT services, and recruitment services are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement. By participating, businesses could expand their footprint in the higher education sector, offering scalable and evidence-based solutions not widely available in the current market.

## Notice

The AI Multi Mini Solution is a specialist recruitment platform and methodology that the University wants to trial through a two-year pilot. The pilot would allow the University to test whether the solution improves applicant experience, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) outcomes, operational efficiency and student conversion rates before committing to a longer-term procurement. The proposed supplier has been selected because its approach is considered technically unique, research-validated and not currently available from other providers in a similarly scalable or evidence-based format. Rather than running a full competitive tender now, the University intends to use the pilot to gather evidence, assess effectiveness, and define future procurement requirements. The pilot would: Introduce and evaluate the supplier's recruitment platform and methodology. Measure its impact on recruitment processes and outcomes. Provide data and evidence to inform a future compliant procurement exercise. Minimise disruption to upcoming recruitment cycles by enabling faster implementation. The arrangement is limited to two years, proportionate in value, and fully documented to ensure transparency and compliance with Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) principles
