Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured temporary agency cover for its Head of Facilities Catering and Logistics. This is a senior facilities management role combining catering and logistics responsibilities, supplied as staffing rather than as a catering or logistics service in its own right. The stated purpose is to cover the head-of-function position. The work is associated with Worthing, with the delivery address in the BN11 1HS postcode area. The procurement sits within non-clinical staffing, so it is relevant to recruitment agencies and staffing suppliers able to provide experienced interim leaders for NHS facilities functions.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to VENN GROUP LIMITED. The award was made on 18 September 2026, for £69,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Trust used a selective call-off from the GCA Non Clinical Staffing RM6277 framework. The original tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single staffing need, with no separate lots described. The published suitability information marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement data.

This award shows demand at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for temporary senior leadership cover spanning facilities, catering and logistics. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to source and place an experienced interim manager able to take responsibility across all three functions in an NHS setting, with the capacity to mobilise quickly and cover a defined period. The route used was a call-off from a non-clinical staffing framework, so suppliers seeking similar work would need access to the relevant framework or a route to participate through an appointed provider. The Trust’s suitability assessment favoured suppliers able to deliver through that framework route rather than SMEs or voluntary and community organisations bidding independently.»}
