The contract falls under the industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, and has been progressed through a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The process is in the award phase, and while the initial contract period ran from 19th June 2023 to 19th September 2023, it has been extended multiple times through variations. The current extension will see it running until 30th November 2025, with a total contract value of approximately £100,404.88 excluding VAT. This selective procurement method involves a significant opportunity within the services sector, focusing on personnel supply across the United Kingdom. This contract offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies involved in recruitment and personnel services, particularly those able to fulfill roles on a temporary basis. The framework agreement mechanism streamlines the award process, making it an appealing prospect for larger recruitment firms like Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited, the awarded supplier. While the approach favours larger-scale enterprises, opportunities exist for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage, particularly those experienced in framework agreements and offering competitive services. The project's requirement for administrative personnel hints at ongoing needs within public-sector supportive roles, presenting potential recurring business for capable suppliers. ## Notice ***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** UK Research and Innovation have a requirement to bring in an Administrator.
