Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, supported by UK Shared Business Services Limited, has concluded a procurement process for an Administrator through a direct award under the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework. This award notice, applicable to the services category, highlights the provision of personnel services, specifically temporary staff, classified under CPV code 79620000. The procurement was executed via a selective method, characterised as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £99,052.37, commenced on 4th March 2024 and will conclude on 26th June 2026, with services to be delivered across the United Kingdom. The buyer, located in Swindon, England, opted for skilled organisational support to optimise their administrative functions.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the provision of personnel services, especially those focused on non-clinical staff. As the contract was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise, it underscores the potential for similar businesses to secure government contracts by leveraging framework agreements.
