NQB Effective Safe Staffing Evidence Reviews
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS England is initiating a tender for the "NQB Effective Safe Staffing Evidence Reviews", focusing on the health services industry within the United Kingdom. The contract involves a comprehensive programme to enhance staffing resources for safer healthcare staffing across multiple areas, with the procurement stage currently active. The process is being managed under open, below-threshold competitive procedures.
Submissions must be entered through the Atamis tendering portal before 12 January 2026. The tender comprises five distinct lots involving critical care, community nursing, operating theatres, children's services, and neonatal care, with gross values for each lot estimated at £22,800. This tender opens doors for businesses specialising in healthcare consultancy and staffing optimisation, particularly those with expertise in evidence reviews and resource management for critical and community healthcare services.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to apply, given the programme's particular focus on diverse health service provision. Businesses involved can anticipate engaging in strategic roles with a significant emphasis on technical delivery, accounting for 70% of the award criteria, thus offering substantial opportunities for business growth through association with a central government entity like NHS England.
