## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured a temporary administrator for UK Research and Innovation. The requirement is a personnel supply service covering the provision of temporary staff, rather than a permanent recruitment or wider consultancy assignment. The work is associated with Swindon, England, based on the stated delivery postcode and the buying organisation’s Swindon location. This is a services procurement, classified under CPV 79620000 for the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. It is relevant to temporary staffing agencies and recruitment businesses able to provide administrative personnel for a public-sector organisation. The requirement is specifically for one temporary administrator, so suppliers focused on general facilities, professional consultancy or permanent placements are less closely aligned with the stated scope.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Shared Business Services Limited selected Reed Specialist Recruitment through a direct award call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, using a selective procurement route. The award was made on 21 September 2026 for GBP 23,149.05. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 26 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 17:00. The awarded supplier is Reed Specialist Recruitment. The procurement record identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while the award was made to a large recruitment business. This is an outcome notice rather than an invitation to submit bids.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the procurement indicates demand for a focused temporary administrator placement supporting UK Research and Innovation through UK Shared Business Services Limited. A credible competitor for comparable work would need a reliable supply of suitably experienced administrative staff, the capacity to identify and place an individual quickly, and the operational controls to manage a temporary assignment through to completion. Experience supplying personnel into public-sector or research-related environments would help demonstrate understanding of compliance, onboarding and reporting expectations. Because the requirement was sourced by direct call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, relevant framework access and the ability to operate within its terms would also be important.
