UK Research and Innovation, facilitated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, has recently completed a procurement process to acquire the services of an Administrator. This falls under the industry category of "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" (CPV code 79620000). The tender, identified as "CSP25567 - Administrator", was carried out using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The contract commenced on 17th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 26th June 2026, with the services delivered within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in the provision of temporary staffing services, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to expand their client base and portfolio. The selective nature of the procurement method signals the importance of having a robust framework agreement, which could lead to more efficient access to such opportunities.
