Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process facilitated by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, titled "Nursing Agency Provision," aimed to secure nursing agency workers to fill vacancies across various sites and departments. Classified under the business services industry, this tender was managed through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contractual arrangement will span from 2nd December 2024 to 1st December 2025, with the tender stage now marked as complete and the award announcement having been made on 14th July 2025. This contract is valued at £999,000, with Cromwell Medical Staffing Limited identified as the supplier. The procurement activities are centred in Lincoln, United Kingdom, adhering to the CPV code 79000000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are adept in providing staffing solutions. Given that the procurement concerns selective engagement via a framework, businesses already within such frameworks can leverage their position to solidify or expand their role in the healthcare staffing sector. The framework's flexible spend further provides businesses with the potential to enhance their operational capacity and establish long-term relationships with significant public sector entities such as NHS trusts.
