Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, overseen by UK Shared Business Services Limited, involves the award of a temporary Administrator role under the title "CSP26349 - Administrator." This is part of the broader industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, with the relevant CPV code 79620000. The location for delivery is within Swindon, England, at the postal code SN2 1FL. The procurement stage of this contract is complete, with the award effective from 18th March 2026, while the contract period starts on 13th April 2026 and ends on 30th September 2026. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically via a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework, with an award value of £21,534 GBP.

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses operating within the personnel supply sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can supply temporary staff. Companies like Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, which was awarded the contract, are exemplary of large businesses that can effectively compete for such opportunities. The procurement method favours suppliers who can efficiently harness framework agreements, making it ideal for organisations familiar with government-focused staffing solutions. Given the temporary nature of the role, businesses that can rapidly deploy qualified staff would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes.
