Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured infrastructure support analyst services for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for an Infrastructure Support Analyst, covering specialist support for organisational IT infrastructure. It is classified under recruitment services, indicating that the procurement relates to sourcing or providing an appropriately skilled professional rather than buying equipment, construction or a broader managed service. The buying organisation is UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist recruitment or technology staffing businesses could be relevant competitors for similar requirements. The service category and role title point to suppliers able to identify and provide candidates with practical infrastructure support capability for a public-sector business environment.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It was a direct award call-off from the SUPC PFB4054 Framework, Lot 2, using a selective procedure rather than an open competition. The contract was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd on 26 July 2026 for £13,158 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 26 July 2026 at 11:00 BST. The procurement was for services and the tender had a total stated value of £13,158. The selected supplier is the sole supplier identified for this award. The process is recorded as complete, and the award is active.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting comparable infrastructure support requirements from UK Shared Business Services Limited. A credible competitor would need access to candidates who can work as Infrastructure Support Analysts and demonstrate practical capability in supporting IT infrastructure in a public-sector business setting. Recruitment firms with an established technology staffing network, or specialist IT services businesses able to supply suitably skilled personnel, are the closest fit. SME suitability indicates that smaller providers can be relevant, provided they can identify reliable candidates, understand the buyer’s operational environment and respond through the appropriate framework route. Experience of public-sector recruitment, framework call-offs and infrastructure support roles would strengthen future credibility.
