UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process led by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust involves a direct procurement method for services, particularly in the field of performing medicine related to Midlands maternity services. The buying organisation is situated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Mindelsohn Way, Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. The transaction was made without competition and falls below the threshold according to the UK legal standard, with references to legislation 2023/54. The awarded contract, valued at £31,027.2 gross, was signed on 10th November 2025, and runs until 11th June 2026. The contract is actively recognised under the description of business services, which includes law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security.

This procurement process opens doors for businesses offering comprehensive business services, such as consulting or marketing, particularly those familiar with medical and healthcare sectors. The nature of services within Midlands maternity services and the broader category of business services provides strategic expansion opportunities for companies with a focus on law, marketing, and consulting. Given the specificity of the services required, large-scale enterprises, like 'The Clod Ensemble', already active as suppliers, are well-positioned to engage with similar future tenders that may arise. British enterprises looking to enhance engagements in the healthcare sector can find potential in such government contracts aimed at enhancing local health service provisions.
