UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured a digital tool supplied by Evira Ltd. The requirement is classified as an IT software package and relates specifically to Evira’s digital tool. The buying trust is based in Birmingham, while University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust hosted the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, the shared procurement service acting for multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull integrated care system. The procurement therefore concerns software used within an NHS trust environment, with the collaborative providing the procurement route. Businesses active in supplying digital tools or software to NHS organisations are the most relevant comparators for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Evira Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a waiver arrangement. The award is active and covers one lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. The award date is not stated separately from the contract information. The selected supplier is Evira Ltd, a large business based in London. The evaluation basis was the direct, non-competitive procurement route rather than a competitive assessment of bids.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a digital software tool, bought through a below-threshold direct-award route and delivered by an established large supplier. A competitor seeking to serve this buyer in future would need a digital product that addresses a clear operational need within a hospital or NHS trust setting, together with the ability to support deployment and ongoing use in that environment. Credibility would also depend on understanding NHS procurement expectations, working through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, and demonstrating that the tool is sufficiently mature for adoption by public healthcare organisations. Suppliers with relevant software delivery experience and NHS-facing implementation capability would be best placed to compete when the requirement returns.
