Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation recently concluded a procurement process, awarding a contract for an Administration Assistant role as part of a selective procurement method. The buying organisation, UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, conducted the process through a call-off from the CCS RM6277 framework agreement, focusing on the supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, classified under industry category 79620000. The tender, with a contract period from 15 December 2025 to 31 March 2026, was valued at GBP 14,215.40. The award was announced on 4 February 2026, marking the completion of the procurement stage.

This tender represents business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in administrative staffing solutions. Given its selective nature, businesses that are part of the relevant framework agreements, such as those offering personnel supply services, would be well-suited to compete. Although the procurement was awarded to HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED, it highlights the potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to engage with public sector contracts under similar arrangements in the future.
