The project location is in Northway, Filton, United Kingdom, postal code BS34 7QH. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, with Adecco UK Limited named as the active supplier. The contract period spans from 2nd December 2025 to 24th September 2027, with the total contract value amounting to £763,200 GBP. The procurement method was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Contingent Labour - Non Clinical Temporary and Fixed Term Staff

Notice Description

NHS Blood and Transplant is undertaking a strategic review and transformation of its Donor Recognition Scheme (DRS). Launched in 2014, the existing scheme has played a valuable role in acknowledging the contributions of donors and encouraging ongoing participation. However, in the face of changing public expectations, donor motivations, and operational priorities, the scheme is increasingly seen as misaligned with the organisation's strategic goals. This requirement is for Professional Consultancy Support Services to build on the findings of a recently completed six-week review, with a proposed roadmap for modernising donor recognition. This will include donor engagement, pilot activity, further design, and implementation planning which will take place across a 3-month period
