Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Cadent Gas Limited, a gas network operator, wants to appoint a panel of recruitment agencies to help find permanent staff when its in-house hiring team needs outside support. The panel is split into four lots covering digital and technology, engineering, customer and operational services, and people and corporate roles.

What the buyer wants

• Specialist reach into active and passive candidate markets for the roles in the lot or lots they bid for • Evidence-based candidate assessment, market intelligence, and a consistently high standard of service to candidates and hiring managers • Acting as a brand ambassador for Cadent, following its Candidate Care Charter, inclusive hiring and Fair Chance approach, and all applicable legal, security and data protection requirements

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets no explicit qualification thresholds or value, but it asks for a controlled network of trusted partners with specialist reach across several disciplines and compliance with security and data protection requirements, so a small firm without established sector-specific recruitment capability or robust data handling would likely struggle to qualify.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
