Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured operational finance subject-matter expertise through an Operational Finance SME Matrix. The requirement is for personnel supply services, including temporary staffing, to support operational finance activity. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement, bought by UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon. The selected supplier is a specialist recruitment business, indicating that the requirement is centred on sourcing and supplying suitably qualified operational finance professionals rather than delivering a standalone technology, consultancy or construction project. Organisations working in specialist recruitment, temporary staffing or the provision of operational finance personnel would be the closest commercial match, particularly those able to identify individuals with relevant finance expertise for public sector assignments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 July 2026 to Hays Specialist Recruitment (Holdings) Limited. The award value was £19,246.92. It was made by direct award as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, using a selective procedure rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 14 March 2026 at 11:00. The contract period ran from 16 March 2026 to 1 May 2026. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The completed contract details notice records one supplier and one requirement covering UK-wide delivery. The award is active, while the overall tender status is complete.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that UK Shared Business Services Limited buys short-term operational finance expertise through a public sector staffing framework. A credible future supplier would need strong access to operational finance specialists, an effective process for assessing technical competence and availability, and the capacity to place suitable personnel within a short assignment window. Specialist recruitment firms, interim management providers and staffing businesses with established finance talent networks are the closest fit. Experience supplying finance professionals to public bodies would help demonstrate understanding of public sector working environments, governance and operational controls. Capability to use the relevant non-clinical staffing framework route would also be important, alongside sufficient delivery resources to manage candidate identification, compliance checks and placement support.
