Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured temporary senior API developer services for UK Research and Innovation. The requirement is for a Senior API Developer brought in on a temporary basis, covering the supply of personnel and temporary staff (CPV 79620000). This is a services procurement rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The buyer is UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, and the delivery postcode is SN2 1FL. The work is relevant to recruitment agencies, temporary staffing providers and specialist technology resourcing businesses able to supply an experienced API development professional. The requirement concerns one specialist resource rather than a broad digital delivery programme or a team-based software development contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Talent International (UK) Limited on 14 February 2025. It used a selective procedure as a direct award call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework, rather than an open competition. The original contract ran from 28 February 2025 to 31 March 2026 and was valued at £178,750. A first variation extended the period to 30 September 2026 and recorded a value of £260,650. A second variation extends the contract to 31 March 2027, with the current awarded value recorded as £341,900. The tender submission deadline was 11 February 2025. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for a public-sector buyer to source senior API development capability through a temporary and fixed-term staffing framework. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would be specialist technology recruitment agencies, framework suppliers and IT staffing providers with access to senior API developers and the capacity to support an individual temporary placement over an extended period. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience sourcing or supplying senior API development personnel, understanding public-sector resourcing processes, and operating effectively through a CCS framework call-off. The buyer’s recorded SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist providers can be relevant where they can meet framework, compliance and delivery requirements.
