This award notice is not a call for competition but part of a completed tender process, orchestrated through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement against CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The awarded contract was published on 20th March 2026, with the contract period extending from 17th June 2024 to 31st March 2027, an increase from the initial end date of 30th June 2026. The contract value is set at £565,020.73, to be executed at the delivery address with postal code SN2 1FL, Swindon, England. This procurement offers valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in providing personnel services or related temporary staffing solutions. The direct award method highlights the importance of pre-existing framework agreements, meaning only qualified suppliers within the specified framework could be considered. SMEs are deemed suitable for this opportunity, fostering potential for growth within smaller businesses in this industry. Suppliers interested in government and defence projects, particularly those already aligned with the framework criteria, stand to benefit from successfully securing such contracts, as demonstrated by the current award to Sanderson Government and Defence Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Bristol. ## Notice ***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** UK Research and Innovation have a requirement to bring in a Solution Architect.
