## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured temporary Finance Business Partner services for UK Research and Innovation. The requirement is for a finance professional to work on a temporary basis, providing finance business partnering support rather than goods, construction or permanent recruitment. The service falls within personnel supply services, including temporary staff. Delivery is associated with Swindon, England. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the buying organisation, acting for the UK Research and Innovation requirement. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The appointed supplier is a specialist recruitment business supplying temporary professional personnel.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective direct award as a call-off from the CCS RM6277 Non Clinical Staffing framework, rather than a new open competition. The contract was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Limited on 30 July 2026 for £51,811.56 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 10 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 21:00, before the award was made. The recorded requirement is a single service package for a temporary Finance Business Partner. The selected supplier holds an active award for the full stated contract value and period.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand for temporary finance business partnering within the UK Research and Innovation support environment, sourced through a public-sector staffing framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to experienced finance professionals who can provide business partnering capability on a temporary assignment, together with the recruitment, vetting and mobilisation capacity to place suitable personnel. Familiarity with framework call-offs and direct-award routes would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to support a public-sector buyer operating from Swindon. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist recruitment firm with demonstrable finance staffing capability could be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to market.
