## Summary

The Home Office procured permanent executive and managerial recruitment services for roles across administration, HR and business support, commercial, finance, procurement and legal, IT, digital, media and marketing. The requirement is for supplying recruitment services to support hiring into these functions, rather than the provision of general office staff. The work is for the Home Office; no delivery location is set out. The procurement was arranged under the ESPO 3S_26 Strategic HR & Recruitment Services Framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award under the ESPO 3S_26 framework. Gatenby Sanderson Limited was selected, with an award value of £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 2 November 2027, with optional 12-month extensions for up to two further years. The award is dated 15 October 2026. There is one lot, marked as suitable for SMEs. The buyer states that the direct award was compliant with the framework. The award evaluation basis and detailed selection requirements are not stated.

This outcome demonstrates demand from the Home Office for permanent recruitment across a broad range of executive and managerial functions, including specialist areas such as commercial, procurement, legal, technology and communications. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show the capacity to recruit senior and managerial candidates across these disciplines, alongside the ability to deliver permanent recruitment through the relevant public-sector framework route. The single-lot structure and stated SME suitability indicate that smaller recruitment businesses may be relevant competitors, although the breadth of functions means demonstrable reach across multiple specialisms would strengthen a supplier’s position. Gatenby Sanderson Limited, an SME, was selected for this requirement.
