Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured a staffing agency for the Cancer Innovation Hub. The requirement is for personnel supply services, including temporary staff, supporting the Hub’s work in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary. This is a services contract for an organisation able to source, supply and manage staffing rather than a direct recruitment of a single named role. The buyer is the NHS Trust serving University Hospitals of Leicester. The delivery location is Leicester, United Kingdom. The procurement’s classification is CPV 79620000, covering the supply of personnel, including temporary staff. It is therefore relevant to staffing agencies, temporary workforce providers and recruitment businesses with the operational capability to support an NHS-related innovation environment.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 12 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 to SEYMOUR JOHN PUBLIC SERVICES (MIDLANDS) LIMITED for £41,208. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 5 February 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £41,208. The award is active and the tender is complete. The published evaluation basis is the requirements set out for this staffing service; no separate weighting or detailed award criteria are recorded here. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, despite the appointed supplier being recorded as an SME.

This award indicates a defined NHS demand for agency staffing to support a specialist cancer innovation function in Leicester. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to suitably qualified personnel, effective temporary-worker recruitment and placement processes, and the capacity to manage assignments for a public-sector healthcare client. Experience supplying staff into NHS, healthcare, research, innovation or similarly regulated environments would help demonstrate understanding of compliance, onboarding, safeguarding, confidentiality and service continuity. Providers should also be able to operate through the relevant framework route and manage short-term workforce requirements professionally. The appointed supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that a focused staffing business can deliver this type of requirement, although the procurement itself was marked as unsuitable for SMEs.
