Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured contingent labour services for temporary multidisciplinary healthcare staffing. The requirement supports continuity of NHS Blood and Transplant activities, short-term workforce needs, recruitment gaps and fluctuations in operational demand. Staff are supplied on an as-required basis under a call-off contract, covering personnel supply services rather than a permanent recruitment exercise. The work is delivered in England, with the buying organisation based at North Bristol Park in Bristol. This opportunity is relevant to healthcare staffing agencies and workforce providers able to supply appropriately matched temporary healthcare personnel across multiple disciplines, respond to changing operational requirements and provide reliable cover for short-term gaps. The procurement is categorised as services and has a CPV classification for supplying personnel, including temporary staff.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to PULSE HEALTHCARE LIMITED on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £122,000. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was structured as a single staffing service, with temporary multidisciplinary healthcare resources supplied as needed. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is a large organisation. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Blood and Transplant for flexible, multidisciplinary temporary healthcare staffing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an established healthcare staffing operation, access to a broad pool of temporary clinical personnel and the ability to fill several types of healthcare role rather than a single specialism. It would also need to manage short-notice or fluctuating demand, maintain continuity of staffing and provide personnel on an as-required basis. Relevant capability includes dependable workforce mobilisation, candidate matching, availability management and service delivery across England. The opportunity is suitable in principle for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, provided they can demonstrate the operational reach and healthcare staffing capacity required by NHS Blood and Transplant.
