Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was led by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, for the project titled "CSP25452 - Solutions Architect." This contract, situated within the services category, specifically focuses on the supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The awarding took place through a selective procurement method known as a call-off from a framework agreement, with Synapri Ltd being selected as the supplier. The procurement stage was completed, and the contract has been active from 13th October 2025, with variations extending the contract period to 31st March 2027. Notably, the award value recently reached £279,350, and the publication of this award notice occurred on 1st July 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) interested in providing non-clinical temporary and fixed-term personnel services. Companies that specialise in staffing solutions and have experience dealing with public sector framework agreements would find this procurement particularly aligned with their growth objectives. Engaging in contracts like this can be an excellent way to establish or expand a business presence in the competitive public sector market, especially given the selective nature of the procurement method, which favours entities already positioned within the framework structure.
