- Workforce Improvement Services (RM6163)
- Managed Staff Banks (RM6278)
- Permanent Recruitment 2 (RM6229)

The framework is likely to run for eight years and cover a range of services, including:

- Permanent and temporary recruitment solutions (domestic and international), including clinical and non-clinical roles.
In addition to the services above, NHS Workforce Alliance are expanding NHS workforce planning support. This includes vendor management systems for temporary staff oversight and recruitment specialists for both domestic and international hiring.
Please Note: Clinical and Healthcare Staff and Non-Clinical Staffing will remain as separate frameworks and are expected to be retendered in 2026 and 2027.
