Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has completed the tender process for providing contingent labour in the form of a Head of Application Management. This procurement falls under the supply services of personnel, particularly temporary staff, and had an estimated value between £78,000 and £81,000. The contract was initiated as a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Based in London, with services extending to the East of England, the contract was scheduled from 5th January 2026 to 3rd July 2026. The award stage of the procurement process was concluded on 8th January 2026, with Keystream Group Limited being awarded the contract.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in human resources and personnel services, particularly those that provide temporary or contingent staffing solutions. As the procurement required a specialised role, companies with expertise in managing contractual labour in healthcare and regulatory sectors would find this a fitting opportunity. However, it primarily favours businesses that are mid-sized rather than small or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises), given the scale and expertise needed for successfully managing the application systems within MHRA.
