Framework Agreement for the provision of International Healthcare Professionals Recruitment & Associated Services.

NHS Commercial Solutions, in collaboration with its NHS Workforce Alliance partners, procured through an open procedure, a framework agreement for a panel of suitably experienced and qualified suppliers of International Healthcare Professional Recruitment and Associated services to provide expert guidance to NHS and other public sector organisations. The NHS Long Term Plan has set out its ambitions for the NHS over the next 10 years, identifying ethical and sustainable international recruitment as a workforce priority. It is intended that this framework will meet the Health and Social Care needs in line with the NHS Long Term and People Plan. This framework aims to provide a holistic approach to the International Recruitment journey, and the range of services and support requirements needed at the various stages of the process, to enable Participating Authorities to obtain recruitment and retention support of its overseas candidates.
