UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured nursing personnel to provide nurses for a specified period. This is a nursing staffing service, rather than a purchase of medical equipment or supplies. The awarded service was for the Trust, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The description identifies the requirement as “nursing provision” and refers to provision of nurses; it does not give further detail on the clinical specialty, number or grades of nurses, shift pattern, or care setting. This type of requirement is relevant to nursing agencies and workforce providers able to supply nurses to NHS organisations. The recorded scope is limited to supplying nursing personnel; it does not describe wider clinical services or other workforce roles.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to ID Medical Group Limited. Medway NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 20 October 2026 to 20 October 2026. Its value is £11,760 excluding VAT and £14,700 including VAT. The award is active. The procurement information does not state an evaluation method or selection criteria; the route used was a direct award without competition. This outcome records the Trust’s purchase of nursing personnel for the stated period and identifies ID Medical Group Limited as the selected supplier.

For nursing workforce suppliers, this award demonstrates that Medway NHS Foundation Trust has bought external nursing personnel through a below-threshold direct award. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can source and deploy suitable nurses for an NHS trust and manage the staffing service reliably. Nursing agencies with established nurse recruitment, vetting and placement operations are therefore the most directly relevant businesses. The procurement description gives no particular specialty, grade, staffing volume, accreditation, or service-level requirement, so suppliers should assess their fit against the Trust’s actual needs rather than assume a particular clinical profile. The recorded award went to a large medical staffing supplier, indicating that a provider able to deliver nursing personnel as a managed service was selected.
