Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for Nursing Agency Provision to NISI Enterprises Limited, trading as NISI Staffing. This procurement, classified under business services, involves the supply of nursing agency workers to fill vacant shifts across various locations, including Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, initiated as a tender process and currently at the award stage, has a financial value of £999,000, to cover a contract period from 2nd December 2024 to 1st December 2025, with no further tender deadlines mentioned at this stage.

This contract creates substantial opportunities for SME entities that specialise in recruitment and staffing within healthcare. Organisations with the capability to provide high-quality nursing personnel can compete effectively, given the lucrative nature of filling multiple shifts as outlined by the trust's Preferred Suppliers List (PSL). The focus on selective procurement and call-off arrangements from a pre-existing framework agreement ensures streamlined opportunities for businesses already affiliated or capable of becoming affiliated with NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing efforts. Additionally, this award represents a consistent need for healthcare staffing solutions in the region, promoting growth for businesses that can meet those demands reliably.
