Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contracting process initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited was for the role titled "GSS24542 - Administrator," classified under the industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The process involved a selective procurement method, using a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The award was issued on 23rd July 2024, with a contract period from 29th July 2024 to 30th March 2026, and the tender was valued at £82,021.52 GBP. The primary location for the delivery of services is designated by the postal code SN2 1FL, in Swindon, England. The most recent update on the award occurred on 25th September 2025, as noted in the award update.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies skilled in supplying temporary and non-clinical staff services. Given the procurement's suitability preference, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete, despite the direct award method employed. Engagement in such tenders can expand a business's portfolio and client base, offering a stable income through long-term contracts with a reputable public organisation such as UK Research & Innovation, via the UK Shared Business Services Limited. Large enterprises, like the supplier in this process, Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, benefit by reinforcing their presence in the public sector recruitment landscape.
