Managed Service for the Provision ot Medical Locums (with option to include AHP and Nursing Staff)

Descriptions

The service will require the supplier to manage the entire temporary locum requirement contracted by the Boards via external provider agencies and/or contractor finder organisations. The supplier will have first option to provide the requirement and would then use a supply chain of providers if unable to provide the locum directly. This will not include locums provided via internal ‘bank’ arrangements which are used by Boards in their overall strategy to provide temporary staff. It should be noted that NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and the West of Scotland Health Boards are potentially interested in expanding the scope of the second generation contract to include provision for Allied Health Professionals and Nursing / ODP staff.
