## Summary

Anchor Hanover Group contracted for recruitment services to supply temporary, fixed-term and permanent workers across locations in the UK. The requirement covers executive and managerial interim recruitment, executive and managerial permanent recruitment, and temporary and permanent recruitment for roles below £45,000. This is a broad workforce-supply requirement spanning senior interim appointments through to lower-paid permanent and temporary roles, rather than recruitment for a single job family or location. The services are delivered across multiple UK regions, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands, the East and South East of England, London and the South West.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to BLUE ARROW LTD. The award was made on 16 September 2026 and the contract was signed on 29 September 2026. Its value is £1,920,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 29 September 2026 to 25 September 2028, with a maximum possible end date of 25 September 2030 through two optional 12-month extensions, subject to mutual agreement. The buyer used a selective procedure to award under an existing framework, without a further competitive call-off. The procurement was arranged as one lot. Contract performance targets require at least three CVs within three working days of an initial brief for interim and permanent roles, a 3:1 interview-to-offer ratio and a 1:1 offer-to-acceptance ratio, each with a 95% target.

This award shows demand from Anchor Hanover Group for recruitment suppliers able to cover temporary, fixed-term and permanent hiring across a UK-wide footprint, including executive and managerial interim and permanent appointments as well as roles below £45,000. A credible competitor would need capacity to respond to briefs quickly across these different recruitment segments and to supply candidates consistently at volume. The contracted service is measured against rapid CV submission, interview-to-offer conversion and offer acceptance, so firms should be able to demonstrate effective candidate sourcing, responsive account management and dependable placement outcomes. The route used was an award under an existing recruitment framework rather than a standalone open competition; suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to a suitable framework and the capability to deliver across multiple UK regions.
