Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has completed a procurement process entitled "GSS24533 - Administrator," which falls under the industry category of supplying services of personnel, specifically temporary staff. The contracting process was conducted via a selective procurement method through a direct award against the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. This award notice was not a call for competition and signified the conclusion of the procurement stage, with Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited being the supplier. Initially planned to end on 26 June 2026, the contract has been extended to conclude on 31 December 2026, ensuring continuation of services in Swindon, postcode SN2 1FL. The contract has a value of £116,194.02, with the start of the service provision dating back to 24 July 2024.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth, mainly benefiting firms that supply temporary staff services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this project suitable, as indicated by the contract's suitability criteria. Businesses capable of providing non-clinical administrative staff can potentially tap into government contract frameworks, securing long-term and stable revenue streams. The extension of the service contract signifies a demand for reliable staffing solutions, encouraging businesses in human resources and recruitment sectors to engage in similar future frameworks and procurement processes.
