The NHS Workforce Alliance framework for Clinical and Healthcare Staffing gives you access to a wide range of capable suppliers who have been through a rigorous tender process, and who are able to offer differing ranges of temporary clinical grades across all staff groups.
The new framework replaced NHSCPP2015/011 NHS CPP National Clinical Staffing Framework and RM3711 Multidisciplinary Temporary Healthcare Personnel which both expired on 7th February 2021.
The agreement is split into 6 lots, including a multidisciplinary matrix allowing customers to source a range of job roles across more than one lot without the need for multiple Call-off Contracts e.g. one Call-off Contract per supplier, per trust.
Through the framework, trusts will now have the ability to procure medical and healthcare staff from one single framework, limiting confusion in the market and creating a streamlined process.
