Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by UK Shared Business Services Limited involves a direct award for non-clinical staffing services, specifically aiming to hire an administrator. Tagged as 'award,' this process follows a selective procurement method through a call-off from the CCS RM6277 framework agreement. The contract, valued at £34,864.28, spans from 16th February to 30th September 2026. The procurement falls under the industry category 'Supply services of personnel including temporary staff,' coded as CPV 79620000, and is in the award stage, indicating the contract has been successfully granted. UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, acts as the buying organisation, while the supplier is Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd, based in London. Business users should note that this process is categorised under services and is suitable for SMEs but not VCSEs.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in personnel supply. Companies offering staffing solutions for administrative roles could find growth potential by being aligned with such framework agreements, enabling them to respond swiftly to similar requirements. Organisations like Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd, which have experience and scale in providing temporary non-clinical staff, could leverage such opportunities to expand their business with public sector entities. SMEs with expertise in non-clinical staffing have the potential to engage actively with future calls from this framework, enhancing their market presence in the United Kingdom.
