Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust · NHS and health

In brief

Mid South Essex NHS Foundation Trust has announced plans to buy financial services and recruitment work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £45,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 December 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for financial services contracts across the UK (from 585 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £45,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

This framework proposal encompasses three distinct lots, each addressing a key area of the employee lifecycle. Lot 1a focuses on Applicant Tracking Systems, providing tools to streamline recruitment processes, manage candidate pipelines, and improve hiring efficiency. Lot 1b covers Onboarding solutions, aiming to facilitate seamless integration for new hires through automated workflows and compliance management. Lot 1c addresses Employee Screening, offering services and technologies to ensure thorough background checks and verification, supporting organisational risk mitigation and regulatory adherence. Collectively, these lots are designed to enhance HR operations and ensure a robust workforce management strategy.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
