Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Blood and Transplant, a central government public authority, has concluded a procurement process under the tender titled "Payroll Support Office," located in Bristol, United Kingdom. This tender, aimed at securing short-term temporary services to cover sick leave, was completed through a direct procurement method below the threshold, without competition. The process reached the award stage on 6th February 2026, with the contract awarded to Venn Group Ltd, a large-scale supplier, for a total value of £21,353. The contract commenced on the award date and is set to conclude on 30th June 2026, falling under the industry category of recruitment services.

This contract represents an opportunity for businesses that offer specialised support services in recruitment, particularly those capable of delivering efficient temporary staffing solutions. Although the procurement was conducted directly with Venn Group Ltd, potentially indicating a specific requirement for their expertise, similar businesses with a focus on payroll and staffing solutions could find opportunities in similar future tenders. Enterprises that excel in maintaining a pool of qualified candidates for temporary roles and those with capacity to provide rapid deployment of staff would be well-suited for such opportunities, enabling growth through strategic positioning for public sector contracts.
