UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a managed digital content service for its NHS organisation. The requirement covers the planning, creation, management and delivery of digital content and associated advertising and marketing services. Work will support the Trust’s communications and digital presence across its healthcare services. The buying organisation is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston, Birmingham, and the service is intended for delivery for University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction contract. The classification used for the requirement is advertising and marketing services. The procurement is a single service requirement rather than a package divided across multiple service areas.

The process has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders were required to submit enquiries by 17 September 2026 at 12:00 and offers by 29 September 2026 at 12:00. Submissions are made electronically through the Atamis e-tendering portal, using reference C469082. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 November 2026 to 6 November 2028, with provision for two further 12-month renewals, potentially extending the period to 6 November 2030. The published estimated value is £0 including VAT and £0 excluding VAT. Offers are evaluated on commercial price at 60%, technical quality at 30% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits agencies and specialist providers that can deliver a managed digital content service for a large NHS foundation trust. Relevant suppliers are likely to combine digital content planning, production, editing, publishing and ongoing content management with advertising and marketing expertise. The requirement may suit small and medium-sized enterprises, which the procurement identifies as suitable to participate. Businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable service delivery for a complex healthcare organisation, with the capacity to manage continuing content activity and work to an agreed service model. Strong technical quality and social value proposals will matter alongside price, so suppliers should be prepared to explain their delivery approach, quality controls, collaboration methods and wider social contribution.
