Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust focuses on a recruitment service contract aimed at streamlining personnel placement, specifically within the services category. The process utilised a direct procurement method, bypassing competitive bidding due to its below-threshold nature. Situated in Northampton, UKF region, the process reached both the award and contract stages, with the contract initially signed on 31st December 2024, spanning from 1st January to 28th February 2025. Key stakeholders include the buyer, Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, and the supplier, BDI Resourcing Ltd, with contact facilitated through Steve Nash at the Trust for any inquiries.

This tender opens substantial avenues for business growth, especially for recruitment agencies with the capability to provide specialised personnel placement services. Given that the procurement method did not rely on competition, agencies with a foothold in direct contract procurement or those able to deliver bespoke services rapidly can particularly benefit. Large-scale organisations like BDI Resourcing Ltd already active in similar domains can find this contract rewarding to leverage their regional presence and expertise in the United Kingdom, further extending their capability into the healthcare sector. Businesses that align their services to meet direct placement needs can grasp opportunities to forge strong relationships within public authority sectors and expand their professional service offerings.
