## Summary

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board bought agency staffing to carry out patient Decision Support Tool (DST) assessments for people receiving Pathway 3 discharge-to-assess nursing funding. The requirement covers experienced, suitably qualified and compliant clinical practitioners, as well as administrative business support. The assessments support decisions for patients receiving this nursing-funded pathway. Delivery covered Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This is a health and social care staffing service, with the published classification also covering recruitment and related business services. The work was arranged through a framework rather than as a stand-alone open competition.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Coyle Personnel Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. Its stated term runs from 1 September to 7 December 2026. The contract value is £48,471,012 excluding VAT (£58,165,034 including VAT). The buyer used a selective, below-threshold award under a framework; the call-off was not competitive. One lot was awarded. The process is described as a light-touch services procurement under the Procurement Act 2023. The contract includes options in line with that Act. No separate award date or detailed scoring criteria are stated in the published process information.

For future requirements of this kind, credible suppliers will need to provide clinical practitioners with relevant experience and suitable qualifications, alongside compliant administrative support where required. They must be able to staff patient DST assessments for Pathway 3 discharge-to-assess nursing funding across the buyer’s three-county service area, and deliver the work through an applicable framework route. The award demonstrates a substantial staffing requirement, so suppliers would need the capacity to mobilise and manage a sizeable agency workforce while maintaining compliance and reliable assessment delivery. Recruitment businesses with healthcare staffing capability, access to qualified practitioners and the operational resources to support administrative roles are the closest fit. The selected supplier was a large personnel company, indicating that the buyer’s requirement was met by an established staffing provider.
