Summary of the contracting process

NHS England is in the planning stage for the "International Recruitment of GPs Framework," which is expected to commence the Invitation to Tender (ITT) process in August 2017. This procurement will cover various healthcare services, particularly focusing on employee relocation and supply services for medical personnel across the UK. The planned budget for this initiative spans from £5 million for the 2017/2018 period to £12.5 million for both the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 periods. Key dates include a pre-ITT launch conference call for potential suppliers on the week commencing 24th July 2017, with final registrations due by 12:00 on 19th July 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment and training services, especially those experienced in sourcing and integrating medical professionals from abroad. Companies that can support NHS England's goal of attracting qualified GPs while offering cultural and pastoral support stand to benefit the most. Given the emphasis on small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this procurement could be an entry point for smaller firms eager to expand their operations in the healthcare sector.
