Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "GSS25230 - Web Content Editor" was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England. The procurement falls under the industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, with the CPV code 79620000. This selective tender process, resulting in an award notice, utilised a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework agreement to select a supplier. The contract commenced on 25 March 2025 and was originally set to end on 23 September 2025, but was later extended to 19 December 2025. The value awarded for the extended contract totals £32,838.75. The award was published on 25 September 2025.

This tender provides opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in personnel and staffing services, especially those capable of supplying temporary staff. It is well-suited for SMEs due to its procurement method and suitability criteria focusing on smaller enterprises. The successful supplier was Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd, a large-scale organisation headquartered in London. The potential for business growth lies in the extension of the contract period, indicating a sustained demand for qualified web content editing staff, highlighting openings for staffing companies seeking to expand within the public sector. Given the specified procurement method, connections with existing framework agreements can be advantageous for competing in such tenders.
