FOI/25/235

Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request information on whether there are any planned or upcoming Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Information (RFIs), or other procurement activities related to contingent workforce solutions at your Trust. Specifically, I would appreciate details on any initiatives or projects related to Managed Service Provider (MSP) or Vendor Management System (VMS) services within the next 12-18 months.
 

1. The anticipated timeline for any planned RFI/RFP processes related to contingent workforce management
   We are still firming up the tender timeline, however we are intending to release something early 2025.
2. Any pre-qualification requirements or prerequisites for vendors intending to participate
   The procurement will be run under the relevant Workforce Alliance framework and lot, meaning that a prerequisite for any provider wanting to participate is they need to be an awarded supplier on the respective framework/lot.
3. Contact details for the procurement team or any other relevant point of contact
   N/A- The Trust has therefore engaged Section 40(2) of the Act, as release of this information would constitute disclosure of personal identifiable data
