Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited is managing a procurement process titled "GSS24887 - Administrator," which falls under the services category for the supply of personnel including temporary staff. This contract, located at the postcode SN2 1FL in Swindon, England, involves an award notice rather than a call for competition. The procurement process follows a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement (CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing). Key dates include an initial contract period from 9th December 2024 to 31st March 2025 and subsequent variations extending the period to 30th March 2026. The process is currently in the award update stage, with the most recent update on 25th September 2025. The contract's value is £57,337.50 and was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses specialising in personnel supply services, particularly those who operate within the non-clinical staffing industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this contract, suggesting an advantageous position for such entities to leverage existing capabilities and expand their scope within government frameworks. While the contract has been awarded, similar opportunities may present themselves in future expansions or renewals, making it worthwhile for relevant service providers to maintain readiness for subsequent procurements of this nature. Large-scale suppliers such as Reed Specialist Recruitment are already active participants, indicating the competitive landscape for such services.
