Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), involves the provision of Non-Clinical Staff as per the framework RM6277 Lot 2. The contract was awarded through a direct award within the business and management consultancy services category. The main industry classification is coded under CPV 79400000. The procurement method employed was 'limited', specifically indicating an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The delivery location is specified as Swindon in the UK, and the contract is in the award stage, having been signed on 17th December 2025. The status of the tender is 'complete', with GI Recruitment Limited being the successful supplier.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in providing professional staffing solutions, particularly within the consultancy sector, to partner with significant research organisations in the UK. Given that the procurement method was a direct award, established suppliers who are part of recognised frameworks such as RM6277 have a competitive edge. Companies that offer services aligning with business and management consultancy, and can operate within UK regional frameworks, would be well-suited for similar opportunities in the future. This engagement underscores the potential for sustained business growth through strategic partnerships with public research bodies like UKRI.
