## Summary

The Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the provision of a Master Vendor service for medical temporary staff under the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare staffing framework agreement (RM6161). This selective call-off from a framework agreement had a total value of £2,100,000 GBP. The procurement stage is now at the award phase, with the contract period starting on 11th October 2024 and ending on 10th October 2027. The procurement is classified under recruitment services (CPV code 79600000), covering locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and globally.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in recruitment services within the medical sector. Typically, larger organisations with the capability to manage extensive healthcare staffing needs would be well-suited to compete, considering the high-value contract and the extensive geographical scope covered. SMEs and VCSEs were not deemed suitable for this particular procurement, which indicates the scale and complexity expected from the suppliers.
