Description

The Armed Forces recruit approximately 20,000 people a year across a broad spectrum of job roles into the three single Services: The Royal Navy (RN), Army and Royal Air Force (RAF). This is currently achieved by the single-Services using different delivery models. The RN and RAF have a number of contracts in support of their recruiting activities, some of which are joint whilst others are unique, with the actual recruiting service provided in-house. The Army’s recruitment is currently carried out under one contract which provides a full end to end recruiting and assessment service. This contract also gives the RN and RAF use of a common digital platform to manage candidates throughout their recruiting journey.

Total Quantity or Scope

The Armed Forces Recruiting Programme (AFRP) is inviting industry to a virtual Market Interest Day on the 19 August 2021 to inform industry of the current requirements and the Commercial construct. Suppliers interested in attending the event should register via AWARD at https://award.bravosolution.co.uk/afrp/web/project/2e6bf780-6875-4109-adb6-85d97.... Suppliers are required to complete and sign the AFRP non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before accessing further AFRP Market Interest information hosted in this AWARD service. The full format of the Market Interest Day will be provided no later than 7 days prior to the event. In 2020, AFRP began an initial procurement exercise to source a future provider for the Armed Forces Recruiting Programme, however following review it was identified that the process no longer reflected the future needs of Defence. As a result, we have taken the opportunity to further refine our requirements and will recommence with a new revised procurement to best meet future needs. AFRP would now like to invite suppliers involved in recruiting operations, including marketing, digital, and assessment (medical, cognitive/psychometric and physical) to take part in this Market Interest Day. Additional information: AFRP is the tri-Service (tS) programme responsible for delivering a common tS recruiting model for the Armed Forces. It will seek to place the candidate at the heart of the future recruiting experience and ensure that the Armed Forces achieve the right quality and quantity of candidates to satisfy the demand, remaining agile and responsive to change.
