Executive & Non-Executive Search 3
Summary
This open framework let under the Procurement Act 2023 gives central government and wider public sector organisations (across the whole of the UK) access to executive and non-executive recruitment services for permanent roles, fixed-term positions, and senior staff temporarily transferred in from other organisations.
Description
This framework helps you recruit senior civil servants and public appointments (or equivalent) and will replace RM6290 Executive Search. This agreement will provide similar services to RM6290 Executive Search and will be defined as core or non-core.
Core modular services include:
- identifying and attracting potential applicants to apply for positions
- assessment and evaluation
- offer and appointment
Non-core modular services may include:
- strategy and planning (such as workforce planning which includes assessing recruitment gaps and ensuring your organisation has the right people with the right skills)

- reserve lists and talent pools
- executive development and coaching
- technology services such as applicant tracking systems (ATS) and video interviews
- international recruitment
We will be engaging in stakeholder and market engagement to determine the full scope of services for this agreement.
