Notice Title

Provision of an enhanced candidate onboarding solution

Notice Description

The Trust recruits approximately 2,000 new staff per year including 600 nurses, health visitors and midwives through a process which takes up to 128 days from an offer of employment being made to someone starting work. This is a labyrinthine and resource intensive process, which cuts across Human Resources, the relevant service, Occupational Health, IT and Facilities and includes a number of points of failure. NCA is looking for bidders to help address the issues associated with the onboarding solution Additional information: Please note that all expressions of interest must be submitted via the Proactis ProContract portal, paper and e-mailed expressions will not be accepted. If you are not already a registered supplier on ProContract, please follow this link to register for free: https://procontract.due-north.com/register . Once you have successfully registered and expressed your interest via the portal, you will be sent an e-mail directing you to the ProContract site from which you will be able to access and download the tender documentation and any other relevant information. All documents pertaining to this opportunity will be available for download via the ProContract portal from the outset. Please ensure you are able to download all files immediately after accessing the ProContract portal. Tenderers should also note that final submissions must be made via ProContract, no other submission route is permitted. Failure to follow this path will result in the tender submission being disregarded. The uploading process when submitting a tender via ProContract may take some time. Tenderers should therefore start this process in sufficient time to allow for the complete uploading of their tender submission by the tender return time and date.
