Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited facilitating the engagement of an Administrator on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. The industry category for this engagement is "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff", with a primary location in the United Kingdom. This contract, which follows the selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, has progressed to the award stage as of April 2026. The final contract period runs from October 2023 to June 2026, with the total contract value reaching £156,170.08.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses skilled in providing personnel services, particularly those experienced in non-clinical staffing. Large recruitment firms like Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete in this space due to the scale of operations required. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may also find interest as the procurement process indicates suitability for smaller organisations, although not specifically for VCSEs. The recurring nature of such contracts within the public sector can help businesses ensure a steady stream of revenue and long-term growth prospects.
