Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "CSP25543 - Temporary staffing" was facilitated by UK Research and Innovation, located at Polaris House, Swindon, UK. This contract pertains to recruitment services within the services industry category. The procurement stage was completed under a limited competition method, specifically below threshold, and the contract has been awarded and signed. The procurement effort was overseen by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, acting as the procuring entity. Key dates within this process include the signing of the contract on 6th November 2025 and its effective period from 7th November 2025 to 29th December 2025, with the total contract value amounting to £19,690.37 including VAT.

This opportunity highlights potential growth avenues for businesses engaged in recruitment services. The procurement process being below threshold with limited competition suggests that smaller or medium-scale recruitment agencies could find such opportunities favourable, as there may be less competition from larger firms. Given the involvement of a large supplier, The One Group Ltd, this contract exemplifies how considerable business growth can be achieved through engagement with government projects. Businesses within the recruitment services sector, especially those with robust staffing solutions, are well-suited to explore similar contracts to expand their market presence.
