## Summary

National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation engaged specialist recruitment services for its DACI team, focused on sourcing candidates for senior technology architecture and infrastructure roles. The service covers candidate identification, longlisting, support with shortlisting, candidate communications, preparation of candidate profiles, interview coordination, offer negotiation support and follow-up after appointment. It supports permanent, fixed-term, contract and day-rate hiring. The procurement is for recruitment services delivered across the United Kingdom, for a central government public authority based in London. The requirement would suit agencies with a specialist technology recruitment practice, particularly those able to reach senior architecture and infrastructure professionals and manage recruitment activity through to appointment and post-placement follow-up.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One lot was awarded to HARNHAM SEARCH AND SELECTION LIMITED, an SME. The award was made and the contract signed on 4 September 2026. The active contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027 and is valued at £50,000 including tax. The arrangement covers recruitment services for the specified senior technology roles, with hiring available on permanent, fixed-term, contract and day-rate bases. The published outcome records one supplier and one contract; the procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For recruitment businesses, this outcome demonstrates demand from NEST for specialist technology talent acquisition rather than general staffing. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable access to senior technology architecture and infrastructure candidates, with the ability to source and assess candidates for permanent, fixed-term, contract and day-rate appointments. The service model also requires practical delivery capability beyond introductions: maintaining longlists, supporting shortlisting, producing clear candidate profiles, communicating with candidates, coordinating interviews, assisting with offer negotiations and providing post-appointment follow-up. Agencies with established technology-sector networks, experienced consultants and the capacity to manage several recruitment stages for senior roles would be well placed to meet this buyer’s requirement when it next uses this route.
