Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by UK Shared Business Services Limited involved the award of a contract for the role of 'CSP25568 Administrator' through Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6277 for the supply of non-clinical temporary and fixed-term staff. The process falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on the supply services of personnel including temporary staff. The contract was awarded to REED Specialist Recruitment Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in London, for the period starting on 17th November 2025 and ending on 30th September 2026. This process was executed using a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement and has moved to the award update stage as of 22nd May 2026.

This procurement opportunity, although now completed, exemplifies how businesses providing temporary staffing solutions can integrate into public tenders through existing frameworks. Such arrangements offer significant growth avenues for large recruitment enterprises looking to establish or expand their presence within the public sector. Given the scale and industry focus, firms specialized in supplying administrative non-clinical staff on a temporary basis would find such frameworks beneficial for long-term business continuity and growth in government contracts.
