Summary of the contracting process

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board procured agency workers to carry out patient Section 117 assessments for people receiving Section 117 funding. The requirement covers experienced, suitably qualified and compliant clinical practitioners, alongside administrative business support. It is a recruitment service for assessments linked to these patients’ funding arrangements, rather than a general staffing requirement. Delivery covered Derby, Leicestershire, Rutland and Nottinghamshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Coyle Personnel Limited through a selective route under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £103,750 excluding VAT (£124,500 including VAT). The contract allows options in line with the Procurement Act 2023. The published information does not identify a separate award date or explain the evaluation basis.

This award shows demand from the Integrated Care Board for recruitment support specifically for Section 117 patient assessments across Derby, Leicestershire, Rutland and Nottinghamshire. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need access to experienced, suitably qualified and compliant clinical practitioners, as well as administrative business support. The service requires the ability to provide both staffing types for assessment work, rather than clinical recruitment alone. The route used was an award under a framework, so relevant framework access would also matter to a supplier seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer.
