The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, located in Cumbria, has completed a procurement process for the services of a solutions architect in the information technology department, focusing on the supply of personnel and temporary staffing. This procurement was conducted through a selective method by calling off from a framework agreement and pertains to the '79620000' CPV classification. The contract, awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited, is valued at £68,620 GBP, with a contract period starting on 17 November 2025 and ending on 31 March 2026. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with the award notice published on 14 November 2025.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in personnel supply services. It is best suited for organisations already engaged in frameworks that can adapt to contingent workforce demands across diverse geographic locations, including the United Kingdom and several British Overseas Territories. While not explicitly designed for SMEs or VCSEs, the call-off from an existing framework may provide competitive advantages to established firms in the recruitment industry. Businesses with a strategic focus on IT temporary staffing will find this award beneficial in enhancing service delivery across multiple regions.
