Recruitment Contracts and Tenders
See open recruitment tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Recruitment procurement covers agency staffing frameworks, executive search, and supply-teacher and specialist candidate sourcing for hard-to-fill roles.
Frameworks and call-offs do most of the work: authorities appoint a panel of agencies across lots, then run mini-competitions or direct call-offs as vacancies arise, rather than tendering each hire separately.

How do I win recruitment contracts with the public sector?
Search public and private portals for live recruitment tenders, or move earlier. On Stotles, read a buyer's workforce planning and strategy documents to catch demand before a framework opens, then build a bid around what's actually coming rather than reacting to the notice on day one. See what's open now, track who's running competitions, and go from there.
What types of recruitment tenders appear in UK procurement?
Recruitment procurement spans several distinct routes: multi-supplier agency frameworks for temporary and permanent staff, standalone competitions for executive and non-executive search, and specialist recruitment for niche functions such as research participant recruitment. Education trusts and the NHS run some of the highest-volume recruitment frameworks, covering supply teachers, clinical staff and support roles.
How are recruitment contracts typically procured?
Most authorities buy recruitment services through multi-supplier frameworks rather than one-off contracts, appointing several agencies across lots split by role type or specialism, then calling off suppliers as vacancies arise. Awards make up a large share of the notices on record, which points to frameworks and call-offs doing much of the work rather than single open competitions.
How can I track new recruitment tenders as they're published?
Set up a saved search on Stotles for recruitment keywords and new notices show up as they're published, not weeks later on a portal digest.
