Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has announced its intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime for Phlebotomy & Blood Clinic Services. The procurement is categorised under health services and the contracting process falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract is planned for delivery from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, covering services across the UK region. Key decision-makers from Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust include managers from Out of Hospital Services and Contract Support. Providers are invited to submit representations by 2nd April 2026 during the standstill period, following the publication of the award notice on 23rd March 2026.

This direct award offers an opportunity for organisations with expertise in healthcare services, specifically phlebotomy and blood clinic operations, to engage in a substantial contract valued at approximately £136,164. As the procurement method was limited, businesses capable of providing efficient blood specimen handling and clinic services without a need for extensive competitive bidding would be well-suited for collaboration. Potential suppliers like University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust are particularly well-positioned to leverage their large-scale operational experience to fulfil the requirements of this health services contract. The contract supports growth in healthcare delivery, enhancing a provider's portfolio within the UK's healthcare sector.
