Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed the procurement process for the provision of staffing for GMTS Assessment Centres under the title "C338666 Nat.427 GMTS VAC Assessors 2025 Elder Professional". The contract, falling under the category of staff training services, was aimed at ensuring the continued operation of virtual Assessment Centres amidst reduced NHS staff availability during the winter period of January to March 2025. Elder Professional Limited was awarded the contract, which is valued at £2,903, with the contract period running from 20th February 2025 to 31st March 2025. The procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement and was selective in nature, with NHS England acting as the buying organisation, headquartered in Wellington House, London SE1 8UG.
