## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority, a public authority within the central government of the UK, has completed the procurement process for a Director of Data & AI Recruitment. The process, which followed a direct procurement method—below threshold without competition—was concluded on 7th July 2026. The contract, valued at £18,170, with a gross amount of £21,804, spans from 7th July 2026 to 6th October 2026. This initiative falls under the services category and targets the recruitment industry, with the work being implemented across the UK, specifically in the Newcastle upon Tyne region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for recruitment firms, particularly those with expertise in data and AI, to engage with central government projects.

Businesses venturing into public authority contracting can harness this procurement for potential growth by demonstrating compliance and expertise in the specific sector needs highlighted by the tender. The focus on recruitment aligns well with entities looking to expand their portfolio into government contracts within the UK.
