Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a Data Visualisation Manager through UK Shared Business Services Limited. The requirement was for personnel supply, including temporary or fixed-term staffing, to provide data visualisation management capability. The work is delivered in England. In practical terms, this is a specialist resourcing requirement rather than the purchase of software, visualisation tools or construction work: relevant suppliers are staffing businesses, recruitment agencies and specialist personnel providers able to identify and supply an appropriately capable data visualisation manager. The procurement is classified under CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The award date was 22 January 2023, following a tender submission deadline of 22 January 2023 at 11:00. The current awarded value is £888,705 including the latest variations, and the contract runs from 23 January 2023 to 31 March 2027. The contract was awarded to IO Associates Ltd, a trading division of Precision Resource, and Talent International. Earlier awards covered £37,375 and £376,740 to individual suppliers, followed by a £719,455 award to both suppliers; these were subsequently varied. The requirement was evaluated through the framework direct-award route.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for data visualisation management personnel within UK Research and Innovation. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established capability in recruiting, vetting and supplying specialist data visualisation managers, including temporary and fixed-term appointments. Experience of working through public-sector staffing frameworks and handling call-off requirements would be commercially relevant, as would the capacity to support a requirement that has continued through multiple contract variations and involved more than one supplier. The procurement’s stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist recruitment or personnel providers can be credible participants, provided they can demonstrate reliable access to appropriately skilled candidates and the operational capacity to manage delivery over an extended engagement.
