Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has awarded a contract for a Business Change Manager through a selective procurement method under the CCS RM6277 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. Managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, this process is categorised under "Supply services of personnel including temporary staff." The procurement concerns the provision of services primarily in the United Kingdom and covers an extensive contract period from 10th July 2024 to 30th June 2026. The procurement, last updated on 19th March 2026, is in the award stage, with Sanderson Government and Defence Limited being the supplier, and a total contract value of £323,335.72 GBP. The procurement does not explicitly offer opportunities for SMEs or VCSEs.

This opportunity provides significant business growth potential for large-scale organisations specialising in personnel supply and temporary staffing solutions. The direct award approach, leveraging a framework agreement, signifies a streamlined procurement process that reduces competition barriers for established suppliers. Businesses with expertise in managing non-clinical staffing needs could benefit from the demand for such managerial expertise, as well as from the potential for contract variations and extensions, as evidenced by multiple contract period changes. As the contract extends to 2026, substantial opportunities exist for sustained collaboration and contribution to the public sector's organisational change agenda.
