Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Executive & Senior Management Search and Selection". This tender, classified under recruitment services within the services category, was aimed at establishing a Framework Agreement for executive-level appointments across Clinical and Medical Specialities. The Framework is structured to allow for three ranked suppliers and enables mini-competitions among them. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, which ensures transparency and broad participation. The initial framework period spans 24 months, with possible extensions of two further 12-month periods. The significant contract value is set at £1,500,000, and the tender was officially launched on 25 February 2022, concluding with the award phase where the selected suppliers will now fulfill the contract.

Smaller enterprises or SMEs engaged in recruitment, alongside larger firms with extensive resources, can leverage this framework to propose innovative solutions and secure long-term placements.
