Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, has completed a procurement process for the provision of personnel services titled "GSS24097 Administrator". This contract falls within the industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, as classified under the CPV scheme with ID 79620000. The procurement followed a selective method, utilising a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. Initially valued at £9,910.08 ex VAT, the contract underwent several variations, increasing the total value to £77,457.78 ex VAT. The procurement has proceeded through its award stage with Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London, and the contract period is set from 6 February 2024 to 30 November 2025.

This procurement presents potential opportunities for businesses specialising in personnel supply, especially those seeking to expand contracts within government frameworks. While the specific award notice indicates a direct awarding process, similar framework agreements could be targeted by businesses wishing to establish themselves in the government contract sector. Companies proficient in providing temporary and fixed-term staffing solutions may find competitive advantages by aligning their services within such structured frameworks and developing strategic partnerships with organisations like UK Research and Innovation, serviced through the UK Shared Business Services. Although the procurement did not specifically cater to SMEs or VCSEs, understanding the operational dynamics of framework agreements could be beneficial for future engagement.
