Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a temporary Finance Planning and Reporting Analyst to support finance planning and reporting work. The service is a temporary personnel supply arrangement, classified under CPV 79620000. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buying organisation. Delivery is in Swindon, England, at the SN2 1FL postcode. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and is intended to bring in an individual analyst on a temporary basis. The requirement was sourced through the buying organisation’s public-sector procurement arrangements, with UK Shared Business Services managing the purchase on behalf of UK Research and Innovation. This is a specialist finance resource requirement for suppliers providing temporary professional staff, particularly analysts able to work within a research and innovation organisation’s finance environment.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Insight Executive Group Limited was selected as the supplier, with the award made on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £144,144 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. It was let using a selective procedure as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework, rather than through an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and the contract period matches the awarded engagement.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for temporary finance professionals covering planning and reporting work, delivered through UK Shared Business Services. A credible future supplier would need to provide an analyst who can undertake finance planning and reporting assignments on a temporary basis, with the professional capability to operate within a public-sector research and innovation setting. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist recruitment or professional staffing businesses may be well placed to compete when comparable work returns. Experience supplying non-clinical temporary or fixed-term staff, and access to an appropriate public-sector framework route, would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses monitoring this buyer should use the requirement’s defined finance specialism and temporary staffing model to assess their candidate pool, framework access and ability to support a single analyst engagement.
