Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured a Project Profession Centre Coordinator for UK Research and Innovation. The requirement is for personnel supply and temporary staffing services, covering the provision of an individual to coordinate the project profession function. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Shared Business Services Limited, acting for the UKRI requirement. The procurement is classified as personnel supply services (CPV 79620000). The opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies, workforce suppliers and staffing providers able to source and place project-profession coordination personnel for a UK public-sector organisation. It is not a goods supply requirement in practical terms, despite the category being recorded as goods.

This is a completed award following a direct award under the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, using a framework call-off route. The tender submission deadline was 14 October 2025 at 12:00. Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was awarded the contract on 22 October 2025. The original award was valued at £23,168.16, covering 20 October 2025 to 16 January 2026. A subsequent variation extended the requirement, with the revised awarded value recorded as £117,720.64 and the contract period running from 20 October 2025 to 15 January 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the overall procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from UKRI for an external Project Profession Centre Coordinator supplied through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitably experienced project-profession personnel, the ability to manage temporary or contracted placements, and the operational capacity to support an assignment over an extended period. Experience supplying staff into UK public-sector or research-sector environments would be commercially relevant, particularly where framework call-offs and public procurement compliance are involved. The recorded SME suitability indicates that smaller recruitment and workforce businesses may be able to compete where they can demonstrate reliable candidate sourcing, placement management and continuity of service. The requirement is most relevant to specialist staffing agencies rather than general goods suppliers or unrelated professional-services firms.
