Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has awarded a contract for the provision of a Scrum Master to UK Research and Innovation. The procurement was conducted through the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6160 for Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff. The Contract titled "CS21563 - Scrum Master," classified under the CPV category 79620000, focuses on supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The contract originated on 1st November 2021 and will be concluded on 30th September 2026, covering the locale of Swindon, England. The value of the procurement reached £788,698.94 GBP. This process utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and is currently at the award stage with the contract status marked as complete.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing non-clinical temporary and fixed-term staff services. Large-scale organisations like SThree Partnership LLP are positioned well to benefit from such frameworks, having already been involved in previous contract awards alongside Berkeley Square IT Ltd, a SME. Companies operating within personnel supply services can leverage this engagement to foster long-term business relationships and expand their services across similar public sector requirements. The duration and financial scope of the contract present substantial growth potential for suppliers capable of meeting the ongoing and varied needs of UK Research and Innovation.
