## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has completed the procurement process for the NHS Workforce Alliance Health Workforce Solutions, with contracts signed on 22 January 2026. This initiative seeks to provide sustainable and flexible workforce solutions across all staffing areas for NHS and other public sector organisations. It involves outsourced staff banks, managed services, and technology platforms to improve workforce management. The procurement method was an open procedure, identifying opportunities for broad participation. The process saw significant engagement with various suppliers, resulting in multiple awards across regions including the UK and several overseas territories. The framework agreement, valued at £10 billion, extends until 2034, aiming to replace earlier agreements and provide strategic, cost-effective solutions without affecting existing agency staffing agreements.

This tender opens substantial opportunities for businesses capable of delivering personnel placement and supply services, along with workforce management technology solutions. Companies specialising in temporary and permanent recruitment solutions, managed service provisions, or offering innovative management solutions could find growth prospects under this framework. Noteworthy competitors include large firms such as ADECCO UK LIMITED and SMEs like AGILE WORKFORCE SERVICES LIMITED, offering a diverse field for potential bidders. By participating in this strategic framework, businesses can showcase their capabilities to effectively meet the workforce needs of public sector organisations, paving the way for establishing robust partnerships and expanding their service offerings within this vital industry sector.

## Notice

The NHS, and other public sector organisations, use external suppliers to support workforce and recruitment programs. CCS, in partnership with the NHS procurement hubs, operates as the NHS Workforce Alliance and currently has a portfolio of frameworks that offer different routes and models for additional staff and resources. This agreement will offer sustainable and flexible workforce solutions for all staffing areas via a range of services, including delivery of outsourced staff banks, managed service solutions, temporary and permanent recruitment solutions, tailored workforce management plans to meet individual customer needs and technology services to provide customers with platforms to manage solutions effectively. This agreement will replace the current Managed Staff Banks (RM6278) and Workforce Improvement Services (RM6163) agreements and will support the NHS and other public sector organisations to implement more strategic contracts to deliver more cost effective workforce solutions. This agreement will not replace existing agency staffing agreements, including Non-Clinical Staffing (RM6277) and National Framework for the Provision of Clinical and Healthcare Staffing (RM6281), and will not directly enable the provision of transactional agency supply in isolation.
