## Summary

NHS England procured a temporary clinical staffing service to recruit and supply clinical and healthcare workers for patient safety roles. The requirement is a personnel supply service, covering temporary staff rather than permanent appointments. It is a service contract delivered in London, with NHS England based at Wellington House, SE1 8UG. The arrangement is intended for organisations able to act as a master vendor, coordinating the provision of temporary clinical staff for the buyer’s patient safety needs. Businesses operating in healthcare recruitment, temporary clinical staffing or managed workforce supply are the most relevant potential competitors for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS England used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to MEDACS HEALTHCARE LIMITED on 6 March 2026 for £625,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 5 March 2026 to 4 March 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement information does not set out lots or a separate evaluation weighting.

This award shows NHS England has an established requirement for coordinated temporary clinical and healthcare staffing in patient safety roles, using a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need a strong, reliable supply network of appropriately experienced clinical and healthcare workers, together with the operational capacity to source, vet, schedule and manage temporary personnel at NHS scale. Organisations should be able to operate as a master vendor rather than simply introduce individual candidates, and should understand the governance, responsiveness and workforce continuity expected in patient-facing NHS environments. The current supplier is a large healthcare staffing business, indicating that scale and established delivery capability are important competitive characteristics when this requirement returns to market.
