Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured administrator services for a requirement of UK Research and Innovation. The work is a personnel supply service, covering the provision of an administrator rather than a broader administrative services contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the public-sector staffing and recruitment market, specifically the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. This is relevant to recruitment agencies, managed staffing providers and personnel suppliers able to identify and place administrators for UK public-sector requirements. UK Shared Business Services acted as the buying organisation, with the requirement relating to UK Research and Innovation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd on 29 July 2026. The awarded value is £24,272.60. The contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The requirement was sourced by direct award as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, using a selective procurement method. The tender submission period ended at 12:00 on 23 July 2026. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. No lots were used, and the procurement was for services.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for an administrator supplied through a non-clinical staffing framework. It is commercially relevant to recruitment agencies and staffing businesses with the ability to source, vet and place suitable administrative personnel for UK public-sector clients. Suppliers preparing for comparable requirements should be able to provide reliable temporary or other personnel supply, manage candidate matching and onboarding, and operate through the relevant framework route where required. The selected provider’s role indicates that established recruitment capability and capacity to fulfil a single administrator requirement were sufficient for this procurement. Smaller staffing businesses may also be well placed, since the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs.
