UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust to address a financial oversight involving an external quality assessment team service, ultimately resulting in a contract award. This procurement, facilitated by the Birmingham and Solihull (BSOL) Procurement Collaborative, aligns with the healthcare industry's services category and was conducted using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The contract was awarded on 31st December 2024 for the calendar year 2025, comprising a gross value of £17,911.80. The procurement takes place in Birmingham, United Kingdom, with the Trust serving as both the buyer and the coordinating entity.

This procurement offers a niche opportunity in subscription services for businesses providing quality assessment functions. Particularly suited for SMEs like Aurevia Ltd, which was awarded the contract, such tenders encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to demonstrate their expertise in specialised healthcare services free from competitive bidding. Companies in the quality assurance sector, especially those with experience servicing public authorities and central government-related needs, could find lucrative prospects in similar contracts by contributing innovative solutions to healthcare quality management.
