Summary of the contracting process

The London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "LAS Clinical Agency Staff Preferred Supplier List," aimed at selecting suppliers for clinical temporary workers. This procurement falls under the industry category of supply services of personnel, including temporary staff, and is located in the UKI region of the United Kingdom. The planned procurement is structured as a selective process and will be awarded under a framework agreement with an estimated contract value between £13.6 million and £16.32 million. The contract period is expected to commence on 19th May 2027 and end on 18th May 2029, with the possibility of renewal until 18th May 2031. The procurement is governed under the legal framework of UK legislation 2023/54 and aims to establish a preferred supplier list to support the delivery of various medical services including integrated urgent care (IUC) and NHS 111 services.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing temporary staffing solutions, particularly those capable of supplying clinical staff. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the tender specifies suitability for these types of organisations. The competitive, above-threshold process will provide multiple suppliers the opportunity to deliver essential medical services for the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Being part of this framework could potentially lead to more extensive collaborations in the future, offering stability and a reliable revenue stream for successful bidders.
