Supply services of personnel including temporary staff

Tender description

The Essex Success Regime is currently 1 of 3 such programmes in the country. It is overseen jointly by a tripartite of national organisations — NHS England, NHS Trust Development Authority and Monitor, which looks after NHS Foundation Trusts. The other 2 Success Regimes are in Devon and Cumbria. The Success Regime is part of the NHS 5 Year Forward View, which is a blueprint for the NHS to take decisive steps to secure high quality, joined-up care. It sets out the challenges facing health and care nationally and how radical change is needed to sustain services into the future and improve care for patients. This contract will be used by the partner trust s (Southend University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital Trust and Mid Essex Hospital) collectively called ‘The Trusts’, to fill gaps in domestic and portering service provision at weekends, bank holidays, day weekday day and late shift. The requirement for Temporary Workers is generally to cover periods of sickness, long term absence, or unplanned shortfall in its internal resource levels, where there are pressures on service levels during peak periods of demand at: weekends, evenings, nights and during the week to ensure the delivery of a high quality Service.
