NHSE&I approved and in alignment to the aims of the NHS People Plan, the expanded scope of TWS II incorporates many years of stakeholder feedback, delivering enhanced terms, driving better value and offering access to the latest workforce supply chain innovations. HTE is committed to providing NHS partners with assurance on the highest standards of quality, audit, data protection, fill rates and a total spend management approach for controls on organisational workforce expenditure. TWS II has been designed with healthcare providers at its heart to support local and collaborative implementation of a sustainable workforce strategy, developed through robust, comprehensive tendering (restricted procedure – criteria available on request) to support the delivery of the right resource, at the right time, for the right cost.
