## Summary

Leeds Trinity University commissioned executive recruitment services. The requirement is for recruitment support at senior leadership level, rather than general staffing or routine recruitment. The recorded service is classified as recruitment services (CPV 79600000), with delivery in the Leeds area. This is a professional services requirement for recruitment firms able to work with a university and handle executive appointments. IRG Advisors LLP, based in London, was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Leeds Trinity University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. IRG Advisors LLP was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £76,000 excluding VAT (£91,200 including VAT). The award is recorded as active, and no evaluation criteria or competitive assessment basis is set out in the process information.

For recruitment firms considering similar future work with Leeds Trinity University, this award shows demand for executive-level recruitment delivered as a focused professional service. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in senior appointments, the ability to understand a university’s leadership needs and access to an appropriate executive candidate pool. The selected provider is a large recruitment business, indicating that the work was entrusted to an established firm, although the published details do not set out specific accreditation, team-size or prior-experience requirements. The direct-award route means this particular appointment was not competitively assessed; a supplier preparing for a future requirement should nevertheless be able to explain its executive search capability and suitability for the university setting.
