Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited, the contracting authority, conducted a procurement process for a Mulesoft Developer on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. This process was completed through a direct award against the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework. The procurement falls under the industry category "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff", classified with CPV code 79620000. The project is located within postal code NG12 5GG in England. Most recently, the contract end date has been extended to 30th June 2026 following a variation. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract initially spanning from 14th April 2025 to 31st October 2025, and subsequently extended twice: first until 31st March 2026, and then until 30th June 2026.

This procurement award, valued at £179,376.60, presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised personnel services, especially those experienced in IT and corporate functions. SMEs are particularly well-suited to participate, given the framework's suitability criteria. Although the tender is not a call for competition, being part of this framework allows the winning bidder, Involved Solutions Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Maidenhead, to leverage their current contract capabilities and experience to engage in future opportunities with UKRI and similar clients under this framework. The direct award process provides streamlined access for suppliers aiming to enhance their service delivery within governmental and research sectors.
