The requirement was to bring in an administrator; the procurement does not describe specific duties or a wider service scope. The work was for UK Research and Innovation, with delivery stated in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Limited was the buyer, while UK Research and Innovation was the organisation with the staffing requirement. This is temporary and fixed-term administrative staffing, rather than a procurement for goods or construction work. The procurement is complete and awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited. The award was made on 3 February 2025, following a direct award call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework. The stated award value is £95,614.80. The contract began on 10 February 2025 and is due to end on 31 March 2027. The original period ran to 30 September 2025, followed by variations extending the arrangement through 31 December 2025, 30 September 2026 and 31 March 2027. The procurement used a selective method; no evaluation criteria are stated. The process was not divided into lots. For recruitment businesses supplying temporary and fixed-term non-clinical staff, this award shows that UK Shared Business Services Limited used the CCS RM6277 framework to source administrative capacity for UK Research and Innovation. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply an administrator and be positioned to deliver through that framework route. The awarded arrangement extended through several successive variations, so suppliers should be able to support continuity of administrative staffing over an extended requirement. The recorded outcome provides evidence of demand for this specific type of staffing, rather than broader recruitment or general business support. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller suppliers should consider the stated suitability position when assessing similar requirements. ## Notice ***Please note this is an award notice, not a call for competition*** UK Research & Innovation have a requirement to bring in an Administrator. This has been sourced via direct award against CCS RM6277 Non-Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff Framework.
