Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed here involves the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, a central government public authority, extending a contract for grounds and gardens services specifically for the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HGS Only). This contract extension is facilitated through a direct procurement method, classified as "below threshold - without competition," and falls under the services category, with an emphasis on contract administration services (CPV: 79994000). The location for this contract is in Birmingham, UK, with the initial contract period running from 1st October 2025 to 1st February 2026. The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract signed on 30th September 2025 and officially concluded on 19th November 2025.

This contract opportunity demonstrates potential for business growth for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) familiar with grounds and garden maintenance services, specifically those with prior experience in healthcare facility environments. "Shirley Heath Trees," the awarded supplier, suggests that businesses with capabilities in specialised horticultural services can successfully compete for similar tenders.
