Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited, for a requirement identified by UK Research and Innovation, procured a Data Operations Manager through the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The work is a professional data operations management resource rather than a goods or construction requirement, classified under CPV 79620000. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was sourced through the CCS RM6160 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Sanderson Government and Defence Limited, a Bristol-based SME. The service supports UKRI’s need for a Data Operations Manager and is therefore relevant to recruitment businesses, managed service providers and consultancies able to supply suitably qualified data operations personnel into a public sector environment.

This is a completed, awarded procurement rather than a call for competition. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the RM6160 framework. Sanderson Government and Defence Limited was awarded the contract on 13 July 2023. The original award was £118,009.32 for 31 July 2023 to 31 March 2024. Successive awards or variations increased the recorded value to £318,232.44 for the period ending 31 March 2025, £517,667.28 for the period ending 31 March 2026, £616,990.56 for the period ending 30 September 2026, and finally £715,525.56 for the contract period from 31 July 2023 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12 July 2023 at 11:00 BST. The procurement used a single requirement rather than separate lots.

This award shows sustained demand from the UK research and innovation public sector for a data operations management specialist supplied through a non-clinical temporary and fixed-term staffing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to experienced data operations managers, an ability to understand and support operational data functions, and the recruitment, vetting and account-management capacity to provide an individual or resource consistently over an extended assignment. Suppliers should also be able to operate through an established public sector framework call-off route and manage the associated contract administration. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that this scale and type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist supplier rather than only a large systems integrator or national staffing business.
