Details

The work is to conduct an initial RFI with the intention of later procuring a new national digital recruitment service for postgraduate training across Medical, Dental, Pharmacy and Healthcare Science programmes in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The supplier will be responsible for implementing, operating, supporting and continuously improving a secure, cloud-based and scalable platform covering the full recruitment journey, including advertising, applications, shortlisting, assessment, offers, onboarding, communications and reporting. The service will replace the current solution before its contract expires in April 2028 and will need to manage significant national volumes while providing a modern, accessible and user-centred experience. The requirement also includes data migration, integration with existing systems and APIs, reporting and analytics, cyber security, information governance, service management and ongoing agile development. Implementation will be phased, building on the existing Alpha prototypes through Beta and transition to live service, with the supplier expected to work collaboratively with NHS England and other stakeholders to ensure continuity of recruitment activity and establish a platform that can evolve as future recruitment and workforce needs change.

This RFI is intended, in part, to inform the Authority’s understanding of potential costs and commercial models. The value of any subsequent procurement may therefore differ from this estimate.

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.

  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
