NHS Workforce Alliance Health Workforce Solutions

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.
