## Summary

NHS Blood and Transplant procured contingent labour services providing temporary multidisciplinary healthcare staff. The service supports continuity of NHS Blood and Transplant activities, covers short-term workforce requirements and recruitment gaps, and helps the organisation respond to changing operational demand. Staff are supplied on an as-required basis under a call-off contract. The work is a personnel supply service, covering temporary healthcare staffing, rather than permanent recruitment or a clinical facilities contract. Delivery is associated with NHS Blood and Transplant’s site at North Bristol Park, Bristol, and the wider England location identified for the requirement. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. NHS Blood and Transplant awarded the contract to The Placement Group Healthcare Limited on 14 September 2026. The awarded value is £40,000. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The arrangement provides temporary multidisciplinary healthcare staffing on an as-required basis, with resources supplied to meet short-term workforce and operational demand. The procurement used a framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition. The award is recorded as active, and the overall procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Blood and Transplant for flexible healthcare staffing that can be mobilised around workforce gaps, recruitment shortfalls and fluctuating operational requirements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a dependable pool of multidisciplinary healthcare professionals, robust processes for checking suitability and compliance, and the capacity to provide staff on an as-required basis. Experience supplying temporary healthcare personnel to NHS or similarly regulated environments would help demonstrate understanding of continuity, responsiveness and workforce assurance. The opportunity is suitable in principle for smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprise providers, so specialist agencies with scalable candidate networks may be well placed. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively through a framework call-off model and support delivery in England.
