Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured nursing agency workers to cover vacant shifts across its sites and departments. The requirement is for temporary clinical staffing supplied through the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework, with workers allocated to shifts as needed. Delivery is across the Trust’s locations in and around Lincolnshire, including the Lincoln area. The work is best understood as nursing agency and healthcare staffing rather than the goods category recorded for the procurement. It concerns supplying people to maintain staffing levels across multiple departments, making it relevant to agencies with access to qualified nurses and the operational capacity to provide cover across several healthcare sites.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00, and the award date was 4 August 2026. INTERACT MEDICAL LIMITED received the active award for £999,000. The contract runs from 15 May 2026 to 14 May 2027. The stated procurement value ranged from £1 minimum to £999,000 maximum, in GBP, because expenditure depends on the number of shifts filled through the supplier list. The buying route was the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework, with one supplier allocated to the Trust’s preferred supplier list. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust for agency nursing cover across vacant shifts, sites and departments. A credible future provider would need an established pool of appropriately qualified nursing staff, reliable processes for matching workers to shifts, and the capacity to coordinate placements across multiple healthcare locations. The framework call-off route indicates that suppliers already able to operate through the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing arrangement are well placed to compete. Strong workforce availability, rapid scheduling, compliance controls and dependable attendance would support delivery of this requirement. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a focused specialist agency may be capable of serving it if it can meet the framework and Trust’s operational demands.
