Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the position of DevSecOps Delivery Manager, undertaken by UK Shared Business Services Limited on behalf of UK Research and Innovation, has progressed to the award stage, with completion confirmed on 6th July 2026. The process involved a selective procurement method through a direct award from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. This contract, classified under the CPV code 79620000 for the supply of personnel, started on 1st September 2025 and has been extended until 31st March 2027. The location of services is in Swindon, England, with an award value of £272,000. The tender process has been completed, and the business opportunity is documented with the main procurement category being services.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in supplying temporary professional services, particularly those with expertise in the DevSecOps discipline. The substantial contract value and extension provide significant revenue potential for the winning supplier, Talent International (UK) Limited, a large-scale organisation based in Birmingham. While the direct award from a framework reduces competition, it highlights the importance of being part of such frameworks to access similar opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to engage in this market segment, given the preference indicated for their participation in the procurement process.
