Recruitment Contracts and Tenders
See open recruitment tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Recruitment procurement covers executive search and non-executive appointment campaigns, permanent and temporary recruitment agencies, and supply teachers and other agency staff. Specialist sourcing for hard-to-fill roles such as nuclear inspectors, planners and legal staff comes up too, as do recruitment advertising and managed services run by a single provider.
Recruitment work runs through frameworks and preferred supplier lists, such as ESPO's strategic HR framework and the Government Commercial Agency frameworks for executive search and supply teachers, with agencies called off per vacancy. Buyers include councils, academy trusts, colleges, housing associations, NHS trusts and central government bodies.

Frequently asked questions

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.
Which frameworks are used to buy recruitment services in the UK public sector?
The Government Commercial Agency's executive and non-executive recruitment services framework and its supply teachers and education recruitment framework are the two national routes that appear in recruitment call-offs. The executive framework covers executive search and non-executive and public appointments, and bodies such as the Ministry of Justice, HM Revenue & Customs, the Gambling Commission and NHS Property Services have called off from it by further competition or direct award.
The supply teachers framework covers supply teaching staff and wider education recruitment. Academy trusts such as St Clare Catholic Multi Academy Trust and Stamford Park Trust have called off from it by direct award, often appointing several agencies at once.
How do I find recruitment contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read finance and governance reviews, compliance requirements, framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show recruitment work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
