two.2.4) 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 our Energy and Infrastructure team (E&I).
Given our unique role in this market and our requirement to source talent directly from a breadth of sectors it is therefore essential that we 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.
Our 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 our requirements.
Crown Estate Scotland does not guarantee any volumes of usage throughout the life of this Framework Agreement.
