UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Birmingham Women's and Children's NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, involves the awarding of a consultancy services contract to Hunter Healthcare. This contract is for an interim managing director for vital services, classified under human resources management consultancy services. The procurement method was direct, bypassing competition due to being below the threshold, with the contract details published in March 2026. The contract commenced on 16th December 2025 and is set to conclude on 16th June 2026, involving a gross contract value of £124,800. The procurement falls under the public authority - central government category and is located in Birmingham, UK, part of the UKG31 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in human resources management. The procurement method adopted—direct, without competition—suggests a need for highly bespoke services where Hunter Healthcare's SME status and VCSE attributes could be advantageous. Organisations with similar capabilities could benefit from aligning their offerings to this industry category, potentially leading to future opportunities for collaborative work with NHS entities, particularly within the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. Firms based in the UK aiming to expand their footprint in healthcare consultancy may find bidding in similar procurements beneficial for growth and establishing long-term partnerships with public health organisations.
