## Summary

The Scottish National Investment Bank announced a complete procurement process for an "Executive Search" firm, focused on high-priority recruitment within the banking sector. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without the prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme urgency. The key contract, valued at £175,000, was signed on 27 April 2022, and the award was given to Spencer Stuart as the sole bidder. This process was based in Edinburgh, and the procurement category falls under services, reflecting the specific needs of the organisation during this urgency.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in executive search consulting, particularly those adept at delivering rapid and effective solutions for senior recruitment challenges. The limited nature of the tender allows firms with flexible operational capabilities to thrive, especially those with experience in the banking industry. Given the urgency and specific requirements outlined, businesses with proven track records in sourcing and placing executive-level candidates would be well-positioned to engage in similar future procurement processes.

## Notice

This is a requirement for an executive search firm for a six month contract.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

We require the services of an Executive search firm to source key positions within the organisation at very short notice.

### Procurement Information

For reasons we could not have foreseen we are in a position where we must recruit senior positions within the Bank. The time limits for open procedure, restricted procedure or competitive procedure with negotiation cannot be complied with for these specific positions. We have a contract in place with a Recruitment company for general recruitment purposes but that does not extend to an Executive search
