This is a completed award notice for a contract initially set from 29 July 2024 to 31 December 2024, with multiple variations extending it to 31 March 2027. The industry category is 'Supply services of personnel including temporary staff' under CPV code 79620000, and the contract is valued at £617,762.50 GBP. The procurement method was selective, indicating a call-off from a framework agreement, centred around Swindon, England, with postal code SN2 1FL. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the provision of temporary personnel services, particularly those that can extend cybersecurity expertise. Being a call-off from an existing framework, it's particularly suited for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering within the structured framework guidelines. The contract’s value and duration present a considerable growth opportunity for businesses able to meet the specific requirements of the UK Research & Innovation’s security architecture needs. Suppliers like Talent International (UK) Limited have actively engaged in this space, highlighting the role SMEs can play in fulfilling such contracts. ## Notice ***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** UK Research & Innovation had a requirement to bring in a Security Architect.
