UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North East London NHS Foundation Trust procured two agency social workers for UCR-BHR (CTT). This is a social work staffing service, intended to provide temporary personnel for the Trust’s service requirements. The buying organisation is based at The Old Goodmayes Hospital in Ilford, Essex. The contracted delivery location is the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused rather than a broad workforce framework: it covers two agency social worker positions for a defined service area and short-term operational need. Businesses specialising in social care recruitment, temporary staffing and the supply of social work professionals are the most relevant potential competitors when this type of requirement returns.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a below-threshold procedure with the method recorded as unknown. Leaders in Care Recruitment Limited was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 3 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 November 2026. Its value is £13,500 excluding VAT, or £16,200 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the supply of two agency social workers for the specified requirement. No bid deadline or evaluation weighting is included in the procurement outcome.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting North East London NHS Foundation Trust’s temporary social work staffing needs. A credible competitor would need to recruit and place social workers through an agency model, support the supply of two personnel, and manage a short, clearly defined assignment rather than a long-term service contract. Leaders in Care Recruitment Limited, an SME, was selected, showing that this requirement can suit smaller specialist recruitment businesses as well as larger workforce providers. Firms with an established social care candidate network, reliable vetting and placement processes, and experience supplying public-sector or NHS social work teams would be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
