UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was managed by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, as part of the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative. The contract is for the partial rebuild of a combined heat and power (CHP) engine, provided by Centrica Business Solutions UK Ltd under a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition. It falls under the services category, specifically for the repair and maintenance of medical and surgical equipment, located in Birmingham, United Kingdom (UKG31). The award and contract were both activated on 5th January 2026, running until 5th January 2027, with a gross value of £19,499.32. The contractual agreement was signed on 5th January 2026, and a contract notice was published on 16th March 2026.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the repair and maintenance services sector. Given the direct procurement approach and the lack of competition, businesses with existing relationships with Birmingham NHS Trusts or those with specialised expertise in CHP engine maintenance might find opportunities for strategic partnerships and repeat business. Moreover, companies interested in expanding their reach within the public healthcare sector in Birmingham, particularly those engaged in supporting infrastructure equipment, would be well-suited to explore similar tenders or future collaborative projects with the Trusts involved.
