Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed a tender process titled "DHSC Workforce Solutions," focusing on supply services of personnel, including temporary staff. The procurement, led by the DHSC, was aimed at sourcing contingent labour to meet key departmental priorities. This acquisition, under the classification code "CPV 79620000," covers delivery to various locations, such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom, among others. With a procurement value of £18,000,000, the selective procurement utilised a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender reached the award stage by 6th June 2025, while the contract is set to run from 7th June 2025 to 5th August 2031.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses offering personnel supply services, particularly those capable of providing a diverse range of temporary staffing solutions. Suitable candidates for such a tender are generally larger enterprises like the selected supplier, Alexander Mann Solutions Limited, although smaller or socially oriented enterprises (SME and VCSE) may find the procurement scale challenging. The successful engagement could be transformative, facilitating long-term growth and collaboration with a major government department. Businesses within the personnel services industry, especially those with experience in managing large-scale or complex workforce projects, could see substantial business development in catering to the dynamic needs outlined by the DHSC.
