Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Nursing Agency Provision" contract was initiated by the Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust. The tender was aimed at providing nursing agency workers to cover vacant shifts across various sites and departments under the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework. Classified under the industry category "Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security" with CPV code 79000000, this contract was processed through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract covers services within the United Kingdom, specifically with main delivery around postcode LN5 7JH, Lincoln. The procurement stage currently in focus is the completion of the award stage, with the contract starting on 15th July 2025 and extending until 14th May 2027. The total contract value amounts to GBP 2,600,000, and the award was made to Cromwell Medical Staffing Limited, with the contract period formally beginning on 15th July 2025.

This tender provides substantial business growth potential for companies in the healthcare staffing industry, particularly those capable of delivering qualified nursing agency workers efficiently and reliably. Businesses specializing in recruitment, especially those accustomed to framework agreements and NHS settings, are well-positioned to meet the demands of this contract. With the provision of services expected across multiple locations, this contract aligns well with enterprises that have operational flexibility and can manage a workforce distributed over various sites within the UK. While this contract does not explicitly favour SMEs or VCSEs, companies capable of scaling their operations rapidly would find this opportunity attractive, given the significant contract value and the stable service demand from the NHS Trust.
