The requirement was to bring in an administrator, within the broader category of supplying personnel, including temporary staff. This is a service rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and is relevant to recruitment agencies, staffing providers and personnel suppliers able to provide administrative staff. The arrangement was sourced through the public sector’s Non Clinical Staffing framework, indicating a requirement for an organisation able to provide personnel through an established staffing supply route. The buyer is based in Swindon, while the service delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, through direct award. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd was awarded the contract on 11 August 2026 for £18,124.45 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off and direct-award route rather than an open competition. The awarded supplier is Reed Specialist Recruitment Ltd. The stated requirement was for administrator personnel services, with the procurement classified as the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for short-term administrator staffing through UK Shared Business Services Limited. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to recruit and supply suitable administrative personnel, manage temporary or contingent staffing arrangements and operate effectively within the relevant public sector staffing framework or an equivalent approved route. The requirement is well suited to an SME staffing or recruitment business, provided it can meet public sector call-off requirements and deliver personnel in the United Kingdom. Experience supplying administrators, reliable candidate sourcing, responsive account management and the capacity to support a defined staffing need would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next addresses comparable demand. ## 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. This has been sourced via direct award against CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec2ab64f-8506-4f6e-a982-84a4a7855ab2 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 10 Aug 2026 - 31 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £18,124 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £18,124 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK Shared Business Services Limited | | Locality | SWINDON | | Postcode area | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 10:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec2ab64f-8506-4f6e-a982-84a4a7855ab2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ec2ab64f-8506-4f6e-a982-84a4a7855ab2 12th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
