This initiative is currently in the planning stage, aiming to assess market capabilities before finalising the procurement route. Key details include the location of service delivery within the UK, and a future notice is expected to be issued on 1 August 2022. The procurement is classified under the CPV code for supply services of personnel, specifically targeting temporary staffing needs across various health boards including NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS Dumfries and Galloway, and NHS Lanarkshire. Interested parties should review the attached questionnaire to engage with the process. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical staffing and locum services, particularly those with experience in partnering with health organisations to supply clinical personnel. Companies that can provide a robust managed service solution, covering the complexities of temporary staffing and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations, will be well-positioned to compete. This could also extend to suppliers with a capability to provide allied health professionals and nurses, reflecting the evolving demands of the healthcare sector within the region. ## Notice The following NHS Scotland Health Boards wish to appoint a single supplier to manage the appointment of temporary Medical Locums (with the option to include AHP and Nursing Staff). The Boards who may participate in this appointment (final list to be confirmed) are: - NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde - NHS Ayrshire and Arran - NHS Dumfries and Galloway - NHS Lanarkshire - NHS Forth Valley Locums play a critical role in meeting essential clinical staffing priorities and are being specifically deployed to cover difficult to recruit to positions, treatment time guarantees and waiting list initiatives. The service will require the supplier to manage the entire temporary locum requirement contracted by the Boards via external provider agencies and/or contractor finder organisations. The supplier will have first option to provide the requirement and would then use a supply chain of providers if unable to provide the locum directly. This will not include locums provided via internal 'bank' arrangements which are used by Boards in their overall strategy to provide temporary staff. Furthermore, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and the West of Scotland Health Boards are potentially interested in expanding the scope of the second generation contract to include provision for Allied Health Professionals and Nursing / ODP staff. It should be noted that a final decision has not yet been reached on which procurement route will be used for this requirement. Crown Commercial Services RM6161 - Provision of Clinical Healthcare Staffing Framework may be considered. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The service will require the supplier to manage the entire temporary locum requirement contracted by the Boards via external provider agencies and/or contractor finder organisations.
