Description of the procurement: Crown Estate Scotland is seeking to appoint an agency to assist with permanent recruitment to further build our team in Energy & Infrastructure which is part of our Marine Directorate. This is to support significant growth in this area of the business. Crown Estate Scotland specifically requires additional skills around innovation, oil and gas and associated offshore wind opportunities and to source specialist skills from a range of sectors. The appointed agency will exclusively source candidates for permanent roles (including a known requirement for eight additional posts over the next two years and any other similar roles which may be required) within the Energy and Infrastructure team (E&I). Given the unique role the Crown Estate has in this market and their requirement to source talent directly from a breadth of sectors it is therefore essential that they appoint a suitable agency who operates in these markets, and has the required capacity, networks and experience in the private sector to take on this work.
Their strong preference is to procure and appoint one agency to lead on this campaign for a period of time and to also work on any similar roles which arise over the course of the framework term.
Skills, knowledge, experience and understanding of the agency will span a number of industries including offshore wind, renewables, oil and gas, hydrogen economy and wave and tidal and it has already been determined that a generalist agency without direct, demonstrated and current experience recruiting these areas of specialism may not have either the capacity or infrastructure to deal with their requirements.
Bidders will evidence the professional qualifications, relevant industry recognised accreditations and appropriate experience that they and any associates involved in the provision of this contract hold. Appropriate professional qualifications, relevant industry recognised accreditations and appropriate experience must be demonstrated
Annual turnover specific to this area of the business to be in excess of twice the stated maximum framework value.
