Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, acting on behalf of UK Research and Innovation, to secure administrative services under the title "CS22547 Administrator." This contract, classified under the CPV code 79620000 for supply services of personnel including temporary staff, is associated with the industry category of services. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service's RM6160 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The contract period spans from 17th November 2022 to 31st December 2026, incorporating several extensions. This procurement stage is at the award update phase, with the most recent update recorded on 23rd June 2026. The total value of the contract is £170,621.54.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the provision of temporary staffing solutions. Given the selective procurement method and the framework agreement, businesses with a proven track record in non-clinical staffing services and familiarity with framework call-offs would be well-positioned to engage with similar opportunities in the future. As the buying organisation supports SMEs, it provides a favourable environment for them to compete and expand their services in the public sector, enhancing their visibility and potential for future contract awards.
