Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured data scientist personnel for a requirement on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. The work is a professional staffing service, covering the provision of a data scientist rather than a wider technology delivery or construction project. It falls within personnel supply services and is categorised as a service. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was sourced through the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, indicating a framework-based route for supplying appropriately qualified temporary or non-clinical staff. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so relevant specialist staffing firms and data science recruitment providers are the most directly aligned businesses.

This is an awarded and completed procurement, using a selective direct award call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to L.A. International Computer Consultants Ltd on 24 July 2026 for £145,832.75 excluding any separately stated adjustments, in GBP. The contract period runs from 22 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buyer. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off and resulted in one active award. The recorded contract value and award value are both £145,832.75.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand for an individual data scientist supplied through the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework for UK Research and Innovation-related work. A credible competitor would need a strong data science recruitment or contingent workforce capability, access to suitable specialist candidates, and the operational capacity to place and support personnel across the United Kingdom. Framework eligibility and familiarity with direct-award call-offs would be important to competing for comparable requirements. The buyer’s recorded SME suitability also indicates that a focused specialist staffing business can be an appropriate scale of provider, provided it can meet the technical and resourcing expectations of the requirement.
