This framework is managed by the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative on behalf of the NHS Workforce Alliance. It covers various locations within the United Kingdom and its Crown Dependencies. The main procurement category is services, focusing on health, classified under CPV code 85100000. The framework operates under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, catering to NHS organisations and equivalent bodies. The procurement process is at the tender update stage with its closing date on 1st August 2025, conducted through an open procedure allowing electronic and written submissions. This tender provides a significant opportunity for growth for businesses operating in the health services sector across the UK and its Crown Dependencies. Companies with expertise in delivering insourced clinical services and managed service provisions will find this framework a beneficial opportunity. The framework is divided into two lots, focusing on insourced clinical services and managed service provision, which are well-suited to organisations with recognised technical and quality standards. The estimated value of the tender is approximately £278 million, creating ample opportunity for entities that can efficiently bolster NHS capabilities and improve healthcare service delivery through innovative solutions and efficient utilisation of spare and out-of-hours capacity in existing healthcare facilities. ## Notice North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative, as the Authority on behalf of NHS Workforce Alliance are looking to establish a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Insourcing of Health Services for use by NHS organisations or their equivalent organisation in England, Wales (Healthcare Inspectorate Wales), Scotland (The Care Inspectorate) and Northern Ireland (Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority), and Central Government/Local Authority where applicable.
