Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured a temporary administrator for UK Research and Innovation. The requirement is temporary staffing, rather than a wider administrative service or a permanent appointment. Delivery is in Swindon, at postcode SN2 1FL.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment through a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Non-Clinical Staffing framework. The award was made on 20 December 2024. The initial contract period ran from 13 January 2025 to 30 September 2026, and two variations extended it to 31 March 2027. The final recorded award value is £99,089.80; an earlier award value was £76,658.55. The tender submission deadline was 20 December 2024. The data does not set out evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from UK Shared Business Services Limited for temporary administrator staffing to support UK Research and Innovation, delivered in Swindon through a staffing framework. The requirement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Suppliers well placed for similar work would be able to source and provide temporary administrative staff for this buyer and serve the Swindon location through the relevant framework route. The award identifies no specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing volumes or specialist administrative skills, so it provides no basis for claiming that these were required.
