## Summary

South West Yorkshire Partnership Teaching NHS Foundation Trust procured a master vendor service for supplying medical personnel, with an option for the Trust to engage medics directly. The requirement is classified as the supply of medical personnel (CPV 79625000) and falls within services. Delivery is associated with Wakefield, West Yorkshire, identified by the delivery postcode WF1 3SP, and the United Kingdom. The arrangement is intended to support the Trust’s staffing needs through a managed supplier solution rather than a one-off placement. Businesses relevant to this requirement include medical workforce providers, master vendors and organisations able to source and coordinate qualified medics for NHS services. The selected supplier was Holt Doctors Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Skipton.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 July 2025 at 12:00. The estimated value ranged from £100,802.44 to £302,407.32, and the awarded value was £302,407.32. Holt Doctors Limited received the award on 1 May 2026. The contract runs from 27 April 2026 to 26 April 2027. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the procedure and method but does not set out separate quality, price or weighting criteria. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, despite the appointed supplier being an SME.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates established demand from South West Yorkshire Partnership Teaching NHS Foundation Trust for an organised medical workforce supply service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a master vendor model capable of sourcing, coordinating and supplying medics, while also supporting direct engagement where required. Experience of serving NHS or comparable healthcare organisations would help demonstrate understanding of clinical workforce requirements, operational coordination and the need to maintain reliable access to suitable personnel. Suppliers should also be able to work through a framework call-off route and demonstrate capacity to manage the scale of a Trust-wide staffing requirement. The award to Holt Doctors Limited shows that an SME-sized specialist provider can deliver the selected service, although the procurement was formally marked unsuitable for SMEs.
