Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "HIWM IT Support Contract" under the services category. This contract encompasses IT support services for the Health Innovation West Midlands Domain, inclusive of hosted backup and Microsoft application licences. The contracting authority, operating within the central government public authority framework, is located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The procurement stage has advanced to the 'Award' phase, with an award date set on 3rd September 2025. This direct procurement, conducted below the competition threshold, has been awarded to Kalamazoo IT, headquartered in Birmingham as well.

The contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, consulting, software development, and support. As the procurement method was direct and below threshold, it suggests that businesses already positioned to provide specialised IT services could find similar opportunities profitable. Kalamazoo IT, a large-scale organisation, is the successful supplier, indicating that established IT firms with a strong presence in managed services are well-suited to compete in comparable contracts, especially those focusing on seamless integration of IT support with healthcare requirements.
