Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured M365 security engineering personnel for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The requirement is for an M365 Security Engineer, providing specialist personnel services supporting Microsoft 365 security activities. This is a services procurement for the supply of temporary or specialist staff, rather than a software licence, platform implementation or construction project. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was made under the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework, Lot 2 for Corporate Functions. It is therefore relevant to recruitment businesses, specialist staffing providers and organisations able to supply suitably experienced Microsoft 365 security professionals for a public sector customer.

This is a completed award, not a call for competition. UK Shared Business Services Limited made a direct award to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd through a call-off from the CCS RM6277 framework. The award date was 13 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £41,793.84 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 11:00. The procurement used a selective method through the framework. The award is recorded as active, and the contract requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate lots within this call-off are identified.

This award demonstrates demand from UKRI, managed through UK Shared Business Services Limited, for specialist Microsoft 365 security engineering capability supplied through a corporate-functions staffing framework. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would have access to experienced M365 security engineers and the ability to provide them as temporary or specialist personnel. Relevant capability is likely to include securing and administering Microsoft 365 environments, advising on security controls and supporting public sector delivery, although the procurement does not set out specific certifications or technical selection thresholds. Recruitment firms, specialist technology staffing providers and smaller suppliers already eligible to work through the relevant framework route would be the closest commercial comparators.
