Talent Tenders and Contracts

Talent procurement covers leadership and executive development programmes, talent management and succession planning, and psychometric and assessment centre services. Recruitment work appears as well, from talent acquisition and executive search to online talent platforms, along with regional programmes that build a talent pipeline into one sector.

Stotles brings together talent tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Leadership and assessment work is often bought as frameworks with lots for coaching and development centres, and online assessment tools and talent platforms are called off from G-Cloud.

Assessment providers handle candidate data under UK data protection law and are expected to use psychometric tests with recognised validity. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar services at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Leadership programmes are often bought as frameworks with lots such as coaching and development centres, recruitment as managed services and call-offs, and assessment and digital talent through G-Cloud. Talent work is commissioned by central government departments, police forces, universities, NHS bodies, housing associations and sector skills bodies.

Read workforce and training plans, learning strategies, framework renewals and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show talent 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.

Talent notices carry 80000000 (Education and training services), 79600000 (Recruitment services) and 72590000 (Computer-related professional services).
