Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of personnel supply services, specifically for an Administrator role. The procurement process was executed via a selective method, namely a direct award against the CCS Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The contract, valued at £120,558.42, covers a period from 16th October 2023 to 26th June 2026, with services primarily delivered to SN2 1FL, Swindon, England. The procurement stage related to this JSON is the award update, with the most recent update logged on 10th April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale recruitment agencies experienced in providing temporary administrative personnel. While the contract has already been awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment, businesses involved in similar frameworks should prepare for future opportunities by ensuring they are part of relevant frameworks and capable of meeting similar service demands. Additionally, companies should aim to maintain flexible staffing solutions to cater to the growing needs of public sector organisations like UKRI, potentially increasing their foothold in such competitive markets.
