Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Allied Health Professional - Safe Staffing Service" was conducted by NHS England, a central government authority based in London. The tender was issued with an "open" procurement method, inviting providers to deliver services within the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" sector. Although the project started in a tender phase in July 2025, by March 2026, the contract was terminated post-completion. Initially, submissions needed to be made by 29 August 2025, with the awarded contract spanning from December 2025 until March 2026. Despite its completion, the contract status was eventually marked as terminated as of June 2026.

This procurement presented substantial opportunities for organisations with strong capabilities in research and evidence review, specifically within the allied health sector. Large scale or specialist research firms, particularly those capable of producing comprehensive literature reviews and educational resources, were well-suited for this tender. While the contract provided capability advancement opportunities for the winning bidder, those in the domain who can demonstrate expertise in workforce management and consultancy could similarly find growth opportunities in similar tenders. With a gross contract value of £206,749, it underlines a significant investment in enhancing NHS England's service delivery framework.
