## Summary

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured agency IT staffing services for a Programme Lead supporting its IT outsourcing programme. The requirement falls within personnel supply services, including temporary staff (CPV 79620000), and is delivered in Leicester, at Leicester Royal Infirmary. The work is classified as a service requirement and concerns the provision of staffing rather than IT systems, software development or general consultancy. Businesses relevant to this requirement are agencies able to identify and supply experienced IT programme leadership personnel for an NHS trust’s outsourcing activity. The named buyer is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, serving its Leicester-based operational requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 12 July 2026 to SEYMOUR JOHN PUBLIC SERVICES (MIDLANDS) LIMITED for GBP 36,100. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 12 July 2026 at 12:00. It was a single requirement for the Programme Lead role, with an estimated procurement value of GBP 36,100. The recorded award is active. The process used a framework call-off route, so participation depended on access to the relevant framework rather than an unrestricted tender.

This award demonstrates a short-term requirement from a major NHS trust for agency-supplied IT programme leadership linked to outsourcing. Suppliers competing for similar work would need a credible pool of senior IT programme leads, the ability to match candidates quickly to a defined public-sector requirement, and experience supplying personnel for complex organisational or technology change. Capability in NHS or other public-sector environments would help a supplier demonstrate understanding of governance, stakeholder management and delivery constraints, although those specific credentials are not stated as mandatory here. The route to market is important: businesses would need to hold, or work through, access to the relevant framework agreement for comparable call-offs.
