Recruitment of Permanent Environmental Specialists for HS2 Ltd

About

HIGH SPEED TWO (HS2) LTD awarded a contract to Matchtech Group UK Ltd for the recruitment of permanent Environmental Specialist positions to support key programme milestones.

The contract, valued at AUD 40,613.5, required a specialist recruitment agency to conduct an extensive market search to attract top talent, including passive candidates, within an eight-week timescale commencing 20 July 2015.

Suppliers were required to pre-qualify and submit a detailed tender response by 12:00 Noon, 6 July 2015, demonstrating experience in similar searches across the UK, particularly outside the rail and construction industry, with case studies and evidence of previous successful campaigns.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) was a critical component, requiring examples of reaching out to under-represented sectors such as women, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, and those requiring flexible working arrangements.

ED&I policies and practices were to be presented to demonstrate capability to meet HS2 standards.

The supplier's ability to meet project milestones, including delivery team capability and capacity, was essential.

All documentation submitted was to be verifiable through testimonials or references if required.
