Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured recruitment services for a Senior Project Manager through an agency contract. The requirement is for supplying or placing senior project management expertise, rather than project delivery works or a general goods purchase. The service is associated with the Trust’s Leicester Royal Infirmary site in Leicester and delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is an NHS trust serving University Hospitals of Leicester. The procurement is categorised as services, with CPV code 79600000 for recruitment services. It provides a useful indication of the Trust’s use of external recruitment support for senior project management appointments and is relevant to recruitment agencies supplying experienced project management candidates to NHS organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to SEYMOUR JOHN PUBLIC SERVICES (MIDLANDS) LIMITED. The award date was 28 June 2026, with a contract period from 29 June 2026 to 29 December 2026. The awarded value was £74,175. The route was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had a submission deadline of 28 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The requirement was treated as a service contract and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the recorded tender status is complete. There was one recorded award and one named supplier.

This opportunity shows that University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust uses a framework-based agency route to obtain senior project management recruitment support. It is commercially relevant to recruitment businesses with access to credible senior project manager candidates and the ability to deliver agency recruitment for NHS organisations. A future competitor would need to understand framework call-off processes, work within public-sector recruitment requirements and demonstrate effective candidate sourcing for senior project management roles. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist recruitment business, even though the procurement record did not identify the opportunity as SME-suitable. The requirement therefore points to value in NHS-focused recruitment capability and framework participation.
