UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, led by UK Export Finance, focuses on procuring 'Interim FRC Technical Support' services, specifically aimed at supporting Financial Regulations Changes. The industry category is noted as supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement follows a direct award method, justified by the need for a particular supplier with unique skills and experience. The process is currently at the award stage, with the award set to commence on 9th February 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2026. Key parties involved include UK Export Finance as the buyer, based in London, and Millennium Business Technology Limited as the awarded supplier, headquartered in Hythe.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in personnel supply services, particularly those capable of providing niche technical support for financial regulation changes. The direct award method suggests that businesses possessing unique combinations of expertise and experience are favoured, providing an edge for highly specialised firms. As the project involves contingent labour to support a central government initiative, businesses with the capability to rapidly adapt and integrate into government projects would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
