The procurement falls under the service category, with a contract value of GBP 2,400,000. The tender is currently at the active stage, with a tender period ending on March 15, 2023. The contract is scheduled to start on May 13, 2023, and run until May 13, 2028. The location for service delivery is in England, United Kingdom. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses specializing in software packages, information systems, and IT services to compete. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a diverse range of companies to participate. Businesses with expertise in candidate onboarding solutions, especially those with experience in the healthcare sector, would be well-suited to bid for this contract. Interested parties must submit their final bids via the ProContract portal by the specified deadline. ## Notice The Trust recruits approximately 2,000 new staff per year including 600 nurses, health visitors and midwives through a process which takes up to 128 days from an offer of employment being made to someone starting work. This is a labyrinthine and resource intensive process, which cuts across Human Resources, the relevant service, Occupational Health, IT and Facilities and includes a number of points of failure. NCA is looking for bidders to help address the issues associated with the onboarding solution Additional information: Please note that all expressions of interest must be submitted via the Proactis ProContract portal, paper and e-mailed expressions will not be accepted.
