UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured seating systems, classified as seats, supplied by Active Design Ltd. The requirement relates specifically to seating systems from that supplier. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The work is associated with Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust in Birmingham, with procurement activity managed by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust from Birmingham. This is a goods requirement rather than a service or construction contract, and is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of seating systems for NHS or healthcare environments.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the stated legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. There was one completed lot. Active Design Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 30 March 2026. The contract runs from 31 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £76,669.17 excluding VAT, or £92,003 gross including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers the seating systems requirement for Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and is managed through the Birmingham and Solihull procurement arrangement.

This procurement shows established NHS demand for specialist seating systems in Birmingham and the scale at which the buyer purchases them. Suppliers best placed to compete when a similar requirement returns will be manufacturers or healthcare-equipment distributors able to provide seating systems, manage product supply and support NHS purchasing requirements. Credibility is likely to come from a proven range of suitable seats, reliable fulfilment and experience supplying healthcare organisations, although the published procurement does not set out specific accreditations, technical standards or staffing requirements. Businesses should also understand direct-award and below-threshold NHS purchasing routes, and be able to work through a shared procurement service serving multiple trusts. Active Design Ltd’s award demonstrates that a focused seating-systems specialist can satisfy this buyer’s requirement.
