Summary of the contracting process

The Health Research Authority has completed a selective procurement process for a Communications Officer role, classified under recruitment services, with the contract awarded to VENN GROUP LIMITED. The procurement was conducted via a call-off from the RM6277 Non-Clinical Staffing Framework, facilitated by the Government Commercial Agency. This tender, now in the award stage, involves services to be delivered in Stratford, United Kingdom, with the contract period running from 21st April 2026 to 16th October 2026. The tender value is £28,542, focusing on enhancing the communications capabilities of the organisation.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those experienced in non-clinical staffing. As the call-off was made through a framework agreement, companies already included in such frameworks, especially small to medium enterprises, are well-positioned to engage in similar tenders and demonstrate capacity for future opportunities within the public sector. Engaging in government tenders can provide a reliable revenue stream and aid in market expansion for firms within the industry.
