Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City University sought to procure Occupational Health Services for its students, aiming to provide professional and confidential health screening and inoculation services. The process employed an open procurement method in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023. This tender, categorised under hospital and related services, was initially active but later marked as complete with the award cancelled due to a material change in specification. The primary location for these services was specified as Birmingham, with relevant regions across the United Kingdom. The final notice of cancellation was issued on 15 August 2025, following a signed contract on 7 July 2025 with OHWorks Ltd.

This tender presented significant opportunities for firms specialising in student health services to expand their client base and showcase their expertise in delivering quality healthcare solutions. Businesses with strong capabilities in health screening, immunisation, data protection, and technical support would have been well-positioned to compete for this contract, which required robust performance management and reporting systems. The open procedure allowed for broad participation, enabling SMEs to present competitive offers, especially those with innovative service approaches and value-added propositions. The cancellation suggests an opportunity for market players to refine their offerings and prepare for future procurement opportunities in the educational sector.
