Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Admin & Clerical Agency Support", was managed by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. It aimed to address requirements due to winter pressures and departmental changes, and it was conducted as a selective tender via a call-off from the existing Workforce Alliance Non-Clinical Staffing framework (RM6277). This procurement falls under the industry category of Business services, covering law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, with the CPV code of 79000000. Located in Lincoln, the completed tender was awarded to GAP Personnel Holdings Limited, a large-scale company, with a contract value of £240,000. The procurement stage was in the Award phase, with critical dates including the tender period ending on 6th January 2026, and the contract running from 7th January 2026 to 14th May 2027.

This tender offers significant business growth potential, particularly for businesses specialising in administrative and clerical agency support services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) might find more competitiveness due to suitability considerations in this sector. Since the completed procurement is under a call-off from a framework agreement, it streamlines the process for suppliers with pre-established conditions, creating an appealing opportunity for those already in the framework or capable of quickly adapting to such tenders. Businesses focusing on short-term staffing solutions can explore opportunities to collaborate with public bodies to meet fluctuating staffing needs, which is especially crucial in response to seasonal pressures and departmental shifts.
