## Summary

The Met Office bought services to support an executive search recruitment campaign. The requirement covers specialist recruitment activity connected with identifying and appointing executive-level personnel. It is a services contract for recruitment services (CPV 79600000), delivered across the United Kingdom. The Met Office is a central government public authority and the organisation using the service. The scope is focused on executive search rather than general recruitment, employment agency supply, or a wider human resources programme. Businesses relevant to this requirement are executive search firms, senior recruitment consultancies and providers able to manage a targeted recruitment campaign for a public-sector organisation operating nationally.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. It consisted of one completed lot. MOON CONSULTING LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. Its value is £24,000 excluding VAT and £28,800 including VAT. The resulting contract is recorded as active. The published outcome identifies recruitment services as the contracted category and links the award to the executive search campaign. The procurement route was a non-competitive direct award, rather than an open tender or a multi-supplier competition.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms considering future executive search work for the Met Office. A credible competitor would need to deliver a focused senior recruitment campaign, identify and assess executive candidates, and provide a managed search service rather than only standard temporary or permanent staffing. Experience of working with public authorities would help a supplier understand governance, probity and structured decision-making, although no specific accreditation or qualification is recorded here. The selected provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy. Firms with comparable executive search capability, sufficient campaign capacity and a track record of senior appointments are the closest commercial peers.
