## Summary

The procurement process, led by United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, involves the provision of nursing agency workers to cover vacant shifts across various sites and departments. This initiative is part of the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing agreement. The procurement, categorised under business services, primarily in recruitment, follows a selective method through a framework agreement. Located in Lincoln, UK, the contract holds a value range with a maximum of £999,000 and was awarded on 1st May 2025. The relevant timeline includes tender finalisation by 25th November 2024, commencement on 2nd December 2024, and completion by 1st December 2025.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses focused on healthcare staffing and recruitment, particularly those that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs). Companies specialising in providing temporary healthcare staff, especially nursing agencies, would find this contract beneficial for expansion. With the selective procurement method, suppliers who are part of existing framework agreements, like NATIONAL LOCUMS LTD, which has been awarded the contract, are particularly well-positioned to compete for such opportunities, offering a well-structured path for business growth within the public healthcare sector.
