Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has completed a procurement process to source an Administrator for UK Research and Innovation. This process was conducted as a direct award from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing Framework under a selective procurement method. The total contract, valued at £62,453.68, extends from 8th April 2024 to 30th September 2025, and is intended for the supply services of personnel, specifically temporary staff. The involved parties are UK Shared Business Services Limited located in Swindon, England, as the buyer, and Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, a large-scale supplier, registered at Academy Court, London. The award process concluded on 27th March 2024.

Though this procurement is already completed, similar opportunities using framework agreements can present growth avenues for businesses specialising in providing temporary or non-clinical staffing solutions. Businesses with a solid track record in managing staffing needs within research and innovation settings, particularly large enterprises that can meet the specific demands and conditions of such high-value contracts, would likely be well-suited for future procurements of this nature. These frameworks alleviate the necessity for a full competitive tender, providing streamlined opportunities for approved suppliers. Engaging in these frameworks can enhance market presence and establish long-term partnerships with public sector bodies.
