Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved an award notice issued by UK Research and Innovation, facilitated by UK Shared Business Services Limited, for the recruitment of a Management Accountant. The procurement is under the industry category of personnel supply services, specifically non-clinical temporary staffing within the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with enhancements that extended the contract period from 3rd March 2025 to 31st December 2026. The initial tender process ended on 27th February 2025, with the award dates and key updates spanning from February 2025 to April 2026. This process, currently in the award stage, denotes a total contract value of £142,937.28 GBP.

This contract represents an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of temporary personnel, particularly those suited to offering management accounting services, to establish connections with public organisations. SMEs are particularly encouraged to explore similar procurement opportunities due to the procurement method favouring selective agreements, possibly providing a competitive edge for smaller businesses with specialised recruitment capabilities. While Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited was awarded this contract, other businesses in the sector can learn from such call-offs to refine their approach in acquiring contracts through framework agreements.
