UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham procured senior programme leadership for the Birmingham Health Partners (BHP) programme. The requirement was for a Senior Programme Lead post, with the individual seconded from University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust to the University of Birmingham. The arrangement covered salary costs for the post, including an annual salary of £64,379.67 for the second year. The buyer is based in Edgbaston, Birmingham, and the supplying NHS foundation trust is also based in Birmingham. The work therefore concerns a cross-organisation university and NHS programme leadership arrangement delivered in Birmingham. It is classified as a service, with the published procurement classification referring to employee relocation services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of Birmingham used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One award was made to University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 15 November 2023 and ran from 16 November 2023 to 31 July 2024. Its gross value was £64,379.67, in GBP. The contract record also describes the post as a two-year secondment, with the second-year annual salary stated in the procurement description. The arrangement was treated as below threshold and was not divided into competing lots; the single lot is complete.

For suppliers assessing comparable university and NHS requirements, this award demonstrates demand for senior programme leadership supplied through an inter-organisational secondment. A credible competitor would need access to experienced programme leaders able to work across higher education and NHS organisations, understand the governance and operational context of a major health partnership, and take responsibility for leading a defined programme. It would also need robust arrangements for secondment, employment or payroll administration, salary handling and coordination between the host university and the supplying organisation. The successful supplier was a large NHS foundation trust, indicating that institutional credibility, established public-sector relationships and the capacity to provide a senior individual were relevant to this requirement.
