Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured temporary administrator personnel services for its business operations. The requirement covers the provision of an administrator on a temporary basis, rather than goods, construction or a wider managed service. The procurement is classified as personnel supply services, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000). Delivery is associated with the buyer’s operations in Swindon, at postcode area SN2 1FL. The buyer is UK Shared Business Services Limited, based at Polaris House in Swindon. This is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies and temporary staffing providers able to supply administrative personnel for public-sector or publicly owned business support functions.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework, using a direct award. Reed Specialist Recruitment was selected on 16 October 2025. The initial awarded value was £13,378.75 for a contract running from 17 October 2025 to 31 December 2025. The recorded procurement value, including subsequent variations, is £58,779.60, with the contract period extending from 17 October 2025 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 8 October 2025 at 18:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the procurement category is services.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited for temporary administrative staffing in Swindon, sourced through a public-sector staffing framework and fulfilled by a large specialist recruitment provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established temporary-worker recruitment and placement capability, access to suitably qualified administrators, and the operational capacity to manage short-term assignments through to completion. Experience supplying administrative staff to public bodies or comparable business services organisations would strengthen its position. Suppliers should also be able to operate within framework call-off processes, respond to defined personnel requirements, and provide reliable compliance, candidate screening, onboarding and assignment support at the required scale.
