## Summary

The procurement process for the provision of nursing agency workers was led by the United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, based in Lincoln, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Nursing Agency Provision," falls under the industry category of business services, particularly law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security (CPV: 79000000). This procurement, now at the award stage, completed its tender period by 1st December 2025, with the contract running from 2nd December 2025 to 14th May 2027. The procurement method used was selective, executing a call-off from the NHS Workforce Alliance Clinical and Healthcare Staffing framework agreement (RM6281), with an estimated contract value of £999,000. The initiative encourages the participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although it's not directly suited for voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment and staffing services. The awarded contract to MSL Healthcare Limited reflects an opening for similar SMEs within the healthcare staffing industry to engage in supplying qualified nursing personnel for hospital shifts. By focusing on this area of business services, companies can establish a foothold in the public healthcare sector and potentially expand their operations through similar framework agreements and continual service provision across the hospital network. The contract allows flexibility, being extendable in line with the overarching agreement, providing additional opportunities for businesses to capture and develop long-term relationships with NHS trusts.
