## Summary

The procurement process initiated by NHS Blood and Transplant focuses on nursing support for blood supply under the title "Contingent Labour". This selective procurement, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, concluded in October 2025 and spans from 13th October 2025 to 12th October 2027. The contracting process aligns with the classification code for recruitment services (CPV 79600000) and is situated in Northway, Filton, United Kingdom. As of 16th December 2025, the procurement process is in the 'Award' stage, with a contract valued at £652,000 awarded to Sanctuary Personnel Limited. Key administrative roles are facilitated by Jason Barber, the contact point at NHS Blood and Transplant.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in recruitment and professional consultancy services within the healthcare sector. It also offers a landscape for engagement in strategic transformation projects, with a focus on donor recognition roadmap modernisation. However, the procurement is not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating that it may require larger entities with a specialised focus on healthcare recruitment and consultancy. Such businesses could utilise their expertise to support critical functions in blood and transplant services, fostering innovation and contributing to strategic organisational goals.

## Notice

NHS Blood and Transplant is undertaking a strategic review and transformation of its Donor Recognition Scheme (DRS). Launched in 2014, the existing scheme has played a valuable role in acknowledging the contributions of donors and encouraging ongoing participation. However, in the face of changing public expectations, donor motivations, and operational priorities, the scheme is increasingly seen as misaligned with the organisation's strategic goals. This requirement is for Professional Consultancy Support Services to build on the findings of a recently completed six-week review, with a proposed roadmap for modernising donor recognition. This will include donor engagement, pilot activity, further design, and implementation planning which will take place across a 3-month period
