## Summary

Leeds City Council procured recruitment advertising services to support the promotion of its recruitment vacancies. The requirement is classified as recruitment services and covers the service of advertising vacancies rather than wider employment or staffing provision. The public-sector buyer is Leeds City Council, based in Leeds, and the work is for the council’s recruitment activity in Leeds. The selected provider is Indeed, an Ireland-based large supplier. This requirement is relevant to businesses that operate recruitment advertising platforms, vacancy-promotion services or related recruitment marketing services, particularly those able to support a public authority’s ongoing programme of advertising job opportunities. Suppliers offering only general consultancy, permanent staffing, temporary labour or unrelated advertising services would need to assess whether their service can directly provide recruitment vacancy advertising at the required scale.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The tender was recorded as complete, and the award is active. Leeds City Council awarded the recruitment advertising service to Indeed. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its gross value is £35,468 including VAT, in GBP. The award covers one lot, also recorded as complete. The published outcome identifies recruitment services as the main service category. This award shows that the council used a non-competitive route for a below-threshold requirement and selected a single supplier. The procurement record does not set out a scored evaluation basis or participation requirements beyond the direct-award route.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined council requirement for a recruitment vacancy advertising service delivered by a large specialist supplier. A credible future provider would need a recruitment-focused advertising platform or service that can publish and promote vacancies effectively for a public authority, manage the associated service reliably and support recruitment activity across the council. Relevant strengths would include established recruitment-market reach, the operational capacity to handle recurring vacancy advertising, and experience serving organisations with structured public-sector recruitment needs. Suppliers should be able to evidence that their service is more than general advertising: it should be designed for recruitment vacancies and capable of providing a dependable route from vacancy promotion to attracting suitable applicants. The requirement is a useful benchmark for recruitment technology providers, specialist job advertising businesses and comparable large-scale recruitment service operators.
