Management of Staffing Contracts

I am seeking clarification regarding the management of staffing contracts and associated services within your Trust. Specifically, I would like to request information about the companies or processes involved in managing the following areas across the staffing groups of Doctors, Nursing, and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs): 

1. Direct Engagement – Management of direct engagement of staff.
2. Neutral Vendor Contracts – Oversight of neutral vendor agreements for agency staff.
3. Bank Staff Management – Administration and management of staff banks.
4. Master Vendor Contracts – Oversight and management of master vendor contracts.

For each of these areas, please provide the following information: 

• The name(s) of the company or organization managing these services, if applicable.
• A brief description of their roles and responsibilities.
• Confirmation if the service is managed internally by the Trust, and if so, whether this is supported by any platforms or tools (in-house or otherwise).
• If a platform is used internally, confirmation that it is not managed by a third party.
• Confirmation if a particular area is not applicable to your Trust.
• An end date for the contract if applicable.
