## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured temporary warehouse staffing services for its operational requirements. The work involves supplying personnel on a temporary basis rather than providing warehouse construction, equipment or a permanent staffing solution. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as the shared service provider. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as a personnel supply service, specifically the provision of temporary staff. The requirement was arranged as a single service lot, covering the warehouse staffing need as a whole. This opportunity is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies, workforce providers and businesses experienced in supplying temporary warehouse operatives to public sector or other large organisational clients.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to THE ONE GROUP LTD. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because the buyer identified an absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was signed on 14 May 2026 and awarded on 15 May 2026, with the contract period running from 15 May 2026 to 21 November 2026. Its value is £19,780 excluding VAT, or £23,736 including VAT. The award is active and covers the single warehouse staffing lot. The stated basis for using the procedure was the technical absence of competition, rather than a competitive price or quality evaluation. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for temporary warehouse personnel within UK Research and Innovation and shows that the buyer used a direct, below-threshold route for a relatively small, time-limited staffing need. A credible future supplier would need to recruit and supply suitable warehouse workers quickly, manage temporary workforce availability and administration, and maintain reliable service delivery throughout the assignment. Experience supplying warehouse operatives, understanding of temporary employment obligations and the capacity to support a public research organisation would strengthen a competitor’s position. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist workforce provider rather than only a national staffing group. Businesses monitoring this buyer should focus on practical temporary staffing capability for warehouse operations.
