Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Lincolnshire Community Health Service NHS Trust, which sought nursing agency services through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The project, titled "Nursing Agency Provision," focused on supplying nursing agency workers to cover vacant shifts across various sites and departments. The industry category for this procurement falls under business services, specifically involving recruitment (CPV code 79000000). Although the tender has been completed, key dates in the process included the end of the tender period on 14th July 2025 and the start of the contract period on 15th July 2025, lasting until 14th May 2027. The awarded contract, valued at £2,600,000, was announced on 28th November 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for companies involved in the recruitment sector to partner with healthcare institutions, particularly those specialising in healthcare staffing solutions. Such businesses can benefit from consistent demand and a long-term contract, given the two-year period with a potential one-year extension. While the opportunity was not specifically marked for small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), SMEs like GLOBE LOCUMS LIMITED successfully participated as the awarded supplier, indicating that similar enterprises with capabilities to meet large-scale staffing needs could effectively engage in such opportunities for business growth. The location of service provision is primarily based in Lincoln, United Kingdom.
