## Summary

The procurement process for the "Nursing Agency Provision" contract, managed by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, has reached the award stage.

Located in Lincoln, United Kingdom, the awarded value is up to £999,000, with the contract running from 2nd December 2024 to 1st December 2025. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, under the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing (RM6281) scheme.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the recruitment and staffing industry, particularly those capable of providing qualified nursing agency workers to fill vacant shifts. SMEs are particularly encouraged to engage with such procurement opportunities due to the suitability requirements that favour smaller enterprises. Pulse HealthCare Limited trading as Pulse Nursing at Home, a large-scale supplier, has already been involved, which indicates potential collaboration or subcontracting opportunities for smaller firms aiming to enter or expand in this market.
