Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process being summarised involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited, acting as the buying organisation, for a contract entitled "GSS24690 RM6277 Administrator". This procedure falls within the services category, specifically classified under CPV code 79620000, which encompasses supply services of personnel including temporary staff. The contract pertains to the United Kingdom, with the procurement stage currently at award update, as of 25th September 2025. The contract period initially started on 23rd September 2024 and is scheduled to end on 30th March 2026. Originally planned to conclude on 31st March 2025, it has undergone variations extending its duration. The procurement method employed is selective, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement, with Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited named as the supplier.

This tender presents a significant potential for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in non-clinical staffing solutions. Large-scale firms capable of providing skilled administrative personnel would be well-equipped to compete under such a framework. By being part of the non-clinical staffing framework, businesses gain access to structured opportunities and recurring contracts, increasing their visibility and chances to develop lasting partnerships with government agencies like UK Research and Innovation. Although this specific award notice does not seek competition, being aware of such contracts can help organisations prepare and position themselves for forthcoming opportunities within the sector.
