Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves the UK Shared Business Services Limited as the buying organisation, located in Swindon, England, and involves the temporary staffing industry category. The procurement, titled "CSP26033 - Administrator," was a direct award notice rather than a call for competition, focusing on the supply services of personnel. The contract has a value of £31,044.85 and covers a period from 26th January 2026 to 30th September 2026. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The awarding stage of this process was completed with the award date on 20th January 2026.

This tender can create growth opportunities, particularly for large recruitment agencies specialising in temporary staffing solutions. While the procurement process is already complete, similar opportunities may arise, benefiting companies like Reed Specialist Recruitment, the awarded supplier. Businesses that can offer competitive, high-quality administrative staffing services on a temporary basis could find value in following similar tenders. SMEs are considered suitable for similar tenders, although the awarded participant was a large-scale company in this instance.
