Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has completed a procurement to bring in an Administrator, awarded through a selective process via a direct call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework. The contract, valued at £53,889.30, is administered by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England. The procurement falls under the category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, with the procurement status marked as complete. The contract commenced on 30th September 2024 and is set to end on 31st December 2025, with the award to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, based in London, being published on 16th May 2025.

This contract offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises that are involved in non-clinical staffing solutions. Given the direct award method utilised, businesses with established relationships within the framework agreements and those with the capacity to provide extensive staffing solutions to large governmental organisations stand to benefit. SMEs and VCSEs are noted as unsuitable for this particular opportunity, emphasising the need for businesses with significant scale and capability in delivering large scale recruitment services to consider similar future opportunities.
