Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by UK Research and Innovation, concluded with the award of the "CSP25360 - Contingent Labour & Travel Charges" contract. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted without competition due to technical reasons, utilising a direct procurement method. The process was completed as a below-threshold non-competitive procedure. The location for the services is based in the UK, specifically managed from Swindon. The procurement reached its award stage on 11th September 2025, with the contract having been signed previously on 16th May 2025. The contract period spanned from 19th May 2025 to 25th August 2025, valued at £13,690. This direct procurement was finalised with UK Shared Business Services Ltd acting as the procuring entity and THE ONE GROUP LTD as the supplier.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in the contingent labour supply market, particularly those able to provide temporary personnel services efficiently. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like THE ONE GROUP LTD, which specialise in the provision of temporary and technical staffing solutions, are well-suited to such contracts due to the non-competitive, direct procurement nature which bypasses extensive bidding processes. Businesses capable of swiftly deploying personnel services under short notice and direct arrangements could find similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their operational footprint and client base in the public sector.
