## Summary

National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation bought executive recruitment services to recruit a Head of Portfolio Risk. The requirement is for specialist executive search and recruitment focused on filling a senior portfolio-risk leadership role, rather than general staffing. The work is for NEST Corporation, the UK workplace pension organisation, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as recruitment services (CPV 79600000).

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sanderson Executive Limited. NEST used a selective route for a below-threshold call-off from a framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September to 21 December 2026. Its value is £43,700. The procurement was divided into one lot, which is complete. The published award information identifies the supplier and the recruitment-services requirement; it does not provide further detail on evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows that NEST uses framework call-offs for executive recruitment and engaged a specialist recruitment supplier for a senior portfolio-risk appointment. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a focused executive-search capability, experience identifying and assessing senior candidates in portfolio risk, and the capacity to manage recruitment for a high-level role. Suppliers should be positioned to deliver through an applicable framework, since this requirement was placed as a framework call-off rather than through a competitive call-off. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was selected for the work. The demand is specific to senior risk leadership recruitment for NEST, rather than broad recruitment services.
