In plain English

Ingeus, a public body, wants a specialist provider to host and score online candidate assessments for its Health Assessment Advisory Service recruitment. The provider would run bespoke assessment tools that already exist, may add other assessment types such as video situational judgement tests, and must work with Ingeus's existing SmartRecruiters recruitment system. The estimated value is between £50,000 and £100,000.

What the buyer wants

• Describe your experience running assessments for high-volume recruitment, with relevant client examples, and explain how your solution measures behaviours such as resilience, conscientiousness and emotional regulation. • Confirm you are a UK-registered organisation, that candidate data is hosted and processed in the UK, that you meet UK GDPR, and state your security accreditations (the notice gives ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus as examples), plus your SmartRecruiters integration, accessibility and reasonable adjustment provisions, and pricing and timescales. • Send your response by email before the closing date, with "Candidate Assessment Services" in the subject line.

Requirements

Named in the buyer's notice:

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires proof of existing SmartRecruiters integration, high-volume recruitment assessment experience with client examples, and ownership or licensing of the intellectual property and assessment methodologies, which are likely to rule out small businesses without an established track record and a proprietary assessment platform.

Always check the tender documents.
