Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is currently seeking recruitment services, specifically temporary, permanent, and contract recruitment options. This tender process is in the planning stage, with a tender period ending on 5th March 2019. The NMC’s procurement seeks to establish a contract for a duration of two years, potentially extendable by an additional two years, with an estimated annual spend exceeding £2 million.

Businesses with experience in public sector recruitment are particularly well-suited to compete, as the NMC is interested in insights on procurement models that can enhance outcomes. Given the potential value of the contract, participating firms can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence and establish long-term partnerships with the NMC.
