Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a Data Engineering Manager through the supply of temporary or fixed-term personnel. The requirement is categorised as personnel supply services and concerns providing management-level data engineering capability rather than a construction, equipment or general consultancy project. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buying organisation. Delivery is associated with Swindon, England. The requirement supports UK Research and Innovation’s need to bring in a Data Engineering Manager, with the service provided through an external staffing supplier. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are therefore recruitment agencies and workforce providers able to identify and supply experienced data engineering management personnel for public-sector work.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework, rather than an open competition. The award was made on 14 July 2023. Precision Resource Group Limited was awarded £138,250 for the original period from 24 July 2023 to 31 March 2024. Subsequent awards for the same requirement were £338,910 to Precision Resource Group Limited and Talent International for 24 July 2023 to 31 March 2025; £538,780 to both suppliers to 31 March 2026; £644,260 to both suppliers to 30 September 2026; and £749,620 to both suppliers to 31 March 2027. The procurement was for services and was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist data engineering management personnel supplied through a public-sector staffing framework. It is most relevant to established recruitment and workforce providers with access to senior data engineering candidates, the ability to manage temporary or fixed-term placements, and experience supplying personnel into government, research or other regulated environments. The selected suppliers were large organisations, indicating that credible competitors may need the capacity to source suitable candidates reliably, support more than one staffing route, and administer an ongoing requirement over several extensions. Framework membership or access to an equivalent compliant public procurement route would be important, because this requirement was placed by direct call-off rather than through an open tender.
