Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited acting as the buying organisation for the contract titled "GSS24888 - Administrator," which falls under the industry category "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff" (CPV 79620000). The contract involves services to be delivered in Swindon, England (postal code SN2 1FL). Currently in the award stage, this tender was a direct award against the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, with the procurement method being selective. The contract originally spanned from 9th December 2024 to 31st March 2025 and has seen several variations extending it to 26th June 2026. Key dates include the award date on 25th November 2024, and the latest notice update was published on 10th April 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs involved in supplying temporary staffing services, though it is not tailored for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The call-off from an existing framework agreement implies that businesses already part of the CCS RM6277 could have a competitive edge. Companies specialising in recruiting and supplying non-clinical personnel would find this contract particularly aligned with their offerings, providing a consistent business opportunity over an extended contract period with a total value of £68,283.95.
