Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured contingent labour services for temporary non-clinical staff. The requirement covers supplying personnel on an as-required basis to maintain continuity of activities, address short-term workforce requirements, support recruitment gaps and respond to fluctuations in operational demand. This is a personnel supply and temporary staffing service, classified under CPV 79620000. Delivery is associated with NHS Blood and Transplant’s site at North Bristol Park, Bristol, and the wider England operating environment. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, a national healthcare organisation. The opportunity is relevant to recruitment agencies, contingent workforce providers and staffing businesses able to supply suitable non-clinical temporary workers against changing operational requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £440,000, and the contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is for services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier is responsible for providing the required contingent non-clinical workforce under the call-off contract. The published outcome confirms an active award and a completed tender process.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers pursuing comparable NHS Blood and Transplant requirements in future procurement activity. A credible competitor would need an established temporary staffing operation, access to a dependable pool of non-clinical workers and the capacity to respond quickly to short-term vacancies, recruitment gaps and changing operational demand. The requirement favours providers able to manage staff supply on an as-required basis while maintaining continuity of service, worker availability and administrative control. Experience supplying contingent labour to large, operationally complex organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would scalable recruitment processes, reliable workforce coordination and the ability to support delivery across Bristol and the wider England environment.
