Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, under the contract title "GSS25119 Administrator". This process falls under the industry category of "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" with CPV code 79620000. The contract location is within the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. Initially set for the period between 10 February 2025 and 30 September 2025, a variation extended the contract to 31 December 2025. The award, dated 3 February 2025 and published on 25 September 2025, indicates the procurement stage as complete, with a contract value of £39,267.50 GBP awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for companies specializing in the recruitment and provision of temporary staff services. It would particularly benefit large-scale recruitment agencies, as the procurement is not marked suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Participating businesses can leverage this award to bolster their portfolio and reputation, securing government contracts for similar future administrative staffing needs. This procurement process showcases UK Research & Innovation's demand for temporary staffing solutions, potentially encouraging competitors to enhance their service offerings to meet the specific requirements of framework agreements.
