## Summary

The South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is preparing to initiate a tender process to establish a Preferred Supplier List (PSL) for recruitment services, which includes both permanent and temporary personnel placements. This procurement, tied to the public authority's central government sector, is currently at the planning stage. A presentation for potential bidders is scheduled via MS Teams on 9th May 2025, with the tender anticipated to launch in the week commencing 12th May 2025. The procurement is classified under the industry category of recruitment services, with a focus on regions in the United Kingdom, particularly in South East England. It is important for interested parties to register on SECAmb's e-tendering platform, Atamis, and search for project number C342584 to participate. The historical annual spend for similar services was approximately £4.5 million, excluding VAT. The procurement process is expected to be a framework agreement with a contract period from 17th October 2025 to 16th October 2029.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those specializing in recruitment services, SMEs, and VCSEs.

With the provision for both temporary and permanent staff recruitment, companies with capabilities in these areas are well-suited to compete.
