Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited acting as the buyer, overseeing the award of a contract for a Java Developer under the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6160. This contract was initially published in 2021 and has undergone several extensions, with the latest extension carrying it through to 31st March 2027. The procurement is classified under the industry category of “Supply services of personnel including temporary staff,” which aligns with non-clinical temporary and fixed-term staff needs. The process is at the award stage, with the procurement method being a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract serves the area of Swindon, England, with postal code SN2 1FL. The contract value has been updated to £909,858.41 GBP as of the latest information from 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for large recruitment agencies like the awarded supplier, Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd., which is based in London. It is especially suited for businesses capable of providing specialist personnel on a temporary and fixed-term basis. By participating in similar framework agreements, suppliers can expand their portfolio and footprint in the public sector. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable for this procurement, larger firms with established capabilities in recruiting specialized tech roles could significantly benefit from such contractual engagements.
