## Summary

The Corporate Officer of the House of Lords commissioned a search and selection agency to advertise and recruit a Finance Director for the House of Lords. This is a specialist recruitment service focused on filling a senior finance leadership post, rather than a general staffing requirement. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Westminster, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Saxton Bampfylde. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September to 21 December 2026. Its value is £27,000 excluding VAT (£32,400 including VAT). The requirement was organised as one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement data does not describe the evaluation criteria or how competing suppliers were assessed.

For recruitment firms, this award shows that the House of Lords buys a focused executive search service to appoint a Finance Director, through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to advertise a senior finance vacancy and identify, attract and assess candidates suitable for a high-profile public institution. Relevant experience in executive search and senior finance appointments would be important to showing fit with this requirement. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale and specialist scope can be served by a smaller recruitment business, rather than requiring a large staffing operation.
