Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "GSS24475 Business Change Manager" was initiated by UK Research and Innovation and managed through UK Shared Business Services Limited. It involved a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement under CCS RM6277 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The industry category pertains to the supply of personnel services, specifically temporary staff. The procurement, identified by CPV code 79620000, takes place within the United Kingdom. While the contract began on 10 July 2024, it has seen several variations, with the most recent revision extending the contract period until 31 March 2027. The process is at the awardUpdate stage, indicating continuous updates post-award, with the latest modification recorded on 9 June 2026. The tendering phase concluded on 1 July 2024.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of non-clinical temporary staffing services, especially those with the capability to manage change within large organizations. However, given that the procurement was executed via direct award, competition was limited to pre-approved suppliers within the established framework. Companies that are part of similar frameworks or possess relevant expertise and scale in personnel supply services are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities. Although SMEs and VCSEs were not directly targeted in this instance, participation in framework agreements could open viable channels for securing similar contracts in the future. The total contract value amounted to £453,158.92, indicating substantial financial engagement in the sector.
