Tender description

The work is to conduct an initial RFI with the intention of later procuring a new national digital recruitment service for postgraduate training across Medical, Dental, Pharmacy and Healthcare Science programmes in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The supplier will be responsible for implementing, operating, supporting and continuously improving a secure, cloud-based and scalable platform covering the full recruitment journey, including advertising, applications, shortlisting, assessment, offers, onboarding, communications and reporting. The service will replace the current solution before its contract expires in April 2028 and will need to manage significant national volumes while providing a modern, accessible and user-centred experience. The requirement also includes data migration, integration with existing systems and APIs, reporting and analytics, cyber security, information governance, service management and ongoing agile development. Implementation will be phased, building on the existing Alpha prototypes through Beta and transition to live service, with the supplier expected to work collaboratively with NHS England and other stakeholders to ensure continuity of recruitment activity and establish a platform that can evolve as future recruitment and workforce needs change.

About the buyer

NHS England runs the NHS in England, and buys as a central healthcare organisation with its own team of procurement professionals. Much of this procurement flows through framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. Seven regional teams support the commissioning of healthcare services across the country. The central commercial function that develops procurement strategy for the whole NHS sits here.

Clinical services are commissioned directly or through the Provider Selection Regime.

Over the past 5 years, most of NHS England's contract awards have been in education and training, health and social work, and IT services.
