Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Nursing Agency Provision" contract, executed by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, has reached the award stage. The tender aimed to secure nursing agency workers to fill vacant shifts across multiple sites under the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework (RM6281). The procurement follows a selective method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. Active since 12 December 2025, the contract will extend into 14 May 2027, with a project value of up to £999,000. The services are classified under the business services category, specifically targeting law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. This tender supports a primary location within Lincoln, UK (LN2 5QY). Although the process is complete, its implications are integral to understanding past tendering dynamics.

This procurement presents considerable business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the Trust's commitment to inclusivity in its supplier selection. Aimed at businesses within the recruitment and staffing industry, the project aligns with those capable of providing flexible staffing solutions. Successful participants will find it beneficial to have strong recruitment capabilities and the capacity to meet varying demands due to the contract's reliance on the filling of shifts, thereby having variable expenditure. Securing such a contract could position businesses advantageously within the healthcare sector, increasing credibility and establishing enduring relationships with public health institutions.
