Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of the Yorkshire and Humber Community and Mental Health Cluster
Sanctuary Personnel Limited has won a £6.6m master vendor contract to supply clinical and healthcare staff to seven organisations across Yorkshire and Humber. The contract covers community and mental health services on behalf of the Yorkshire and Humber Community and Mental Health Cluster, a consortium that includes City Health Care Partnership CIC, Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Locala Community Partnerships CIC, Sheffield Health Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, and Sheffield Children's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
A master vendor arrangement allows multiple NHS organisations to draw down staffing services through a single supplier contract rather than tendering individually. This model reduces procurement overhead while giving each trust flexibility to call off staff as demand shifts.
