Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited as the buying organisation, contracting with REED Specialist Recruitment Limited to supply an Administrator for UK Research and Innovation. This procurement falls under the industry category "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff," and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the latest update published on the 10th of April, 2026. The contract period commences on the 8th of July, 2024, and concludes on the 30th of April, 2026, as part of a selective procurement process through a call-off from a framework agreement. The total contract value is £64,110.77 GBP, highlighting a commitment to facilitating non-clinical staffing needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in staffing and recruitment services, particularly those specialising in non-clinical personnel. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete in this sector given the inclusive procurement policy favouring such organisations. The award to a large-scale supplier like REED exemplifies the potential for growth and the substantial financial turnover associated with such contracts. Engaging in similar tenders can bolster a company's portfolio by aligning with high-profile clients like UK Research and Innovation, increasing credibility and market presence.
