Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Nursing Agency Provision" contract, managed by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, has reached the award stage. This contract involves the provision of nursing agency workers across various sites and departments, falling under the business services category, specifically targeting recruitment. Located in Lincoln, United Kingdom, the awarded value is up to £999,000, with the contract running from 2nd December 2024 to 1st December 2025. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, under the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing (RM6281) scheme. The tendering phase concluded on 25th November 2024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the recruitment and staffing industry, particularly those capable of providing qualified nursing agency workers to fill vacant shifts. SMEs are particularly encouraged to engage with such procurement opportunities due to the suitability requirements that favour smaller enterprises. Pulse HealthCare Limited trading as Pulse Nursing at Home, a large-scale supplier, has already been involved, which indicates potential collaboration or subcontracting opportunities for smaller firms aiming to enter or expand in this market. The flexibility in fulfilling shift-based demands could foster business growth for agencies with the operational capability to deliver quality healthcare staffing solutions efficiently.
