Tender description

Prior information notice (PIN): international nurse recruitment for the provision of OSCE ready nurses. Prior information notice (PIN): international nurse recruitment for the provision of OSCE Ready nurses. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust (MTW), in common with many NHS Trusts, on occasion requires external support in recruiting nurses internationally. Having worked with a number of suppliers in recent years for varying requirements, the Trust wishes to appoint a single supplier onto a framework for the provision of OSCE Ready nurses. The Trusts intention is to form a framework that is accessible by any NHS Trust for provision of the same, thus enabling an expedient route to market via a suitably qualified and experienced supplier. The Trust has not yet definitively determined those requirements which may be in scope, in what volumes and over what timeframe the provision of these services will be required. Suppliers must note that the Trust has not determined the most appropriate route to market, which will be determined while this PIN is at market. Suppliers should note, with reference to the above framework, that while this is presently a MTW Trust requirement, the provisions of this PIN encapsulates all NHS Trusts. The purpose of this prior information notice (PIN) is to inform prospective providers of a potential intention to seek to enter into a contract(s) with a provider(s) for the provision of these services. To support in this, and to gain market intelligence/feedback, the Trust (MTW) welcomes any comment(s) prospective suppliers wish to make. Please contact jack.moss@nhs.net with the subject heading ‘Patient Flow Engagement’. Should you have any queries in relation to this PIN or more generally, please do not hesitate to contact Jack Moss (Head of Procurement and Commercial Support) on jack.moss@nhs.net
