National Framework Agreement Contract:
The “National Contract”
The Anaesthetists Agency holds approved supplier status on the new National Framework Agreement for the supply of “Medical Locums … to National Health Service (NHS) Bodies”.
Purpose of the Agreement
The main purpose of the National
Contract is to save the NHS
money and to ensure that
all locum doctors are vetted
and authenticated.
This is to be done by having a group of capable
agencies contracted to supply locums at lower
prices, and then, as far as possible, by making
locum work available to only those agencies.
Pay Rates
Of the hundred or so agencies tendering, our
proposed pay rates at each grade were in the
top quartile of pay rates tendered at every
stage.
Volume of Work
Based on our preferred supplier status, we
look forward to offering you a great variety
of work at each grade, throughout the United
Kingdom.
