## Summary

NHS Blood and Transplant procured contingent labour services for temporary multidisciplinary healthcare staffing. The requirement supports continuity of the organisation’s activities, covers short-term workforce needs and recruitment gaps, and provides additional staff when operational demand fluctuates. Personnel are supplied on an as-required basis under a call-off contract. The work falls within temporary personnel supply services and is categorised as a service requirement. Delivery is associated with NHS Blood and Transplant’s site at North Bristol Park, Bristol, and the wider requirement covers England. This is therefore relevant to recruitment agencies, healthcare staffing providers and workforce suppliers able to provide suitably qualified multidisciplinary healthcare personnel for NHS operational requirements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to REED SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £20,000. The contract period runs from 21 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The evaluation basis recorded for this award is the framework call-off procedure. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the procurement concerns temporary multidisciplinary healthcare staffing supplied as required rather than a permanent workforce appointment.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined NHS Blood and Transplant requirement for flexible, multidisciplinary healthcare staffing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need access to a dependable pool of appropriately qualified healthcare professionals, the ability to respond to short-term workforce gaps and changing operational demand, and recruitment and compliance processes capable of supplying staff when required. Experience supporting continuity in healthcare operations would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to manage varied professional disciplines rather than a single staffing category. Recruitment businesses, specialist healthcare agencies, SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises with those capabilities are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement when it next comes to market.
