Managed Staff Banks (Ref: RM6278 )

The services available through this agreement are sorted into one lot: Managed Staff Banks. The framework provides access to a full range of staff bank services, including but not limited to:

• Staff bank set up, including regional and sub-regional banks as required
• Operation and management of a staff bank, including employment of the workers if required
• Management of cascade to agency suppliers
• Workforce analysis and advice services, to help you understand demand patterns and current use of substantive and flexible workforce

You cannot use the framework to purchase a standalone eRostering system or any equivalent standalone technology solution. A secure technology solution will be provided by the supplier to support management of the staff bank delivered under this framework.

The Managed Staff Bank framework covers any grade or speciality across the following staff roles:

• Doctors, Consultants, Dentists and General Practitioners (GPs)
• Allied Health Professionals (AHP), Health Science Services (HSS) and Emergency Services (ES) personnel
• Nursing and Midwifery personnel
• Non-clinical personnel

The framework cannot be used to source agency staff, with the exception of the agency cascade where the supplier may source a worker from an approved list of employment businesses to fill a vacancy that cannot be filled by the staff bank.

The NHS Workforce Alliance have other framework contracts for agency staffing, details of which can be found on our website.
