Multiple Master Vendor contracts
As well as numerous Tier 1 supplier contracts, we are one of the few agencies operating multiple managed service contracts for the NHS. We are also an approved supplier of locum doctors (and managed service contracts) under multiple Frameworks – CCS RM1570, CCS RM3711 and HTE Total Workforce and CPP/LPP.
Where we are established as the managed service provider, we have successfully implemented the service within only 4-6 weeks and helped those Trusts make significant cost saving efficiencies as well as exceeding fill rates.
We continue to provide an average fill rate of 95% at this Trust (97% average across all MV contracts) since the introduction of the NHS Improvement capped rates.
