Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a Salesforce Test Engineer to provide specialist testing capability for its Salesforce environment. The procurement covers services supplied through personnel, including temporary staffing, rather than software licences, implementation or general IT consultancy. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buying organisation managing the requirement on behalf of the public sector. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a specialist staffing or technology recruitment business can be an appropriate supplier profile. The work is focused on supplying an individual Salesforce testing resource with the skills to support testing activities within the buyer’s Salesforce-related operations.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 December 2025 to Synapri Ltd. It used a selective direct award, described as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, rather than an open competition. The awarded value is £181,500 including the reported contract value, with the contract running from 8 December 2025 to 31 March 2027. The original period was 8 December 2025 to 31 March 2026, followed by variations covering 1 April to 30 September 2026 and 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 3 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The stated basis was framework call-off selection.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a dedicated Salesforce testing specialist sourced through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible competitor would need access to Salesforce test engineering expertise and the ability to place and support a suitably skilled resource in a UK public-sector environment. Relevant capability includes planning and executing Salesforce tests, identifying defects, supporting quality assurance and working with teams responsible for business systems. The opportunity also indicates that smaller specialist businesses can be suitable for this type of requirement. Framework access, reliable resourcing and experience supplying technical personnel through formal public-sector call-off routes would strengthen a future response.
