## Summary

The University of Worcester procured recruitment advertising services for a key job board serving recruitment in the higher education sector. The requirement supports the university’s recruitment activity and is delivered in Worcester, United Kingdom. The service falls within recruitment services. The selected provider is WARWICK UNIVERSITY SERVICES LIMITED trading as jobs.ac.uk, which operates the jobs.ac.uk recruitment platform. This is a service requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction works, and is relevant to businesses providing recruitment advertising, specialist job-board access or related recruitment marketing services for higher education employers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 with WARWICK UNIVERSITY SERVICES LIMITED trading as jobs.ac.uk. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £30,000 gross, including taxes, in total. The award is active and covers one completed lot. The University of Worcester is the buyer. The process used the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competing bid evaluation basis is recorded.

This procurement indicates a focused requirement for recruitment advertising through a job board recognised for higher education recruitment. A competitor seeking to satisfy the same requirement would need a credible platform or advertising service that reaches candidates for university roles, together with clear relevance to higher education employers. The appointed supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist provider rather than only by a large generalist recruitment company. Businesses with an established higher education audience, strong recruitment advertising capability and a service that can support a university’s ongoing vacancies would be best placed to compete if this type of requirement returns.
