Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured temporary personnel services for UK Research and Innovation: one Real Estate Admin Assistant. The requirement is for administrative support within real estate activities, supplied on a temporary basis rather than as a permanent appointment. The service falls within personnel supply and temporary staffing services (CPV 79620000) and is categorised as a service. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s Polaris House operation in Swindon. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist staffing or recruitment business could meet the buyer’s requirements. The appointed provider supplies the worker and associated temporary staffing service rather than delivering construction, property maintenance or a wider real estate project.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Reed Specialist Recruitment was selected on 7 August 2026 for £29,070.90 including the stated currency, with the contract running from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The requirement was sourced through a direct award under the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, using a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 18:00. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buyer. The award is active and covers a single requirement for the temporary Real Estate Admin Assistant. The recorded award value and contract period are the same as those set out for the procurement overall.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited and UK Research and Innovation for temporary administrative staffing supporting real estate functions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to suitable temporary personnel, experience recruiting or supplying administrative staff, and the ability to manage short-term placement arrangements through a public-sector staffing framework. Relevant capability would include understanding property or estates administration, matching candidates to administrative duties, handling onboarding and compliance, and maintaining reliable service during the placement. The buyer’s identification of SME suitability indicates that a smaller recruitment or specialist staffing provider could be competitive if it can demonstrate dependable candidate supply, public-sector process familiarity and the operational capacity to support the assignment.
