Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is buying Individual Placement Support Services, a healthcare service intended to provide the support described in the tender requirements. The procurement is classified as health services and is being delivered for the Trust in Birmingham, England. The requirement is offered as a single service package rather than a set of separately described lots. It is suited to organisations working in health and employment support, particularly providers able to deliver Individual Placement and Support services in a healthcare setting. The detailed service requirements, delivery expectations and operational arrangements are contained in the tender documents. The contracting authority is a public NHS foundation trust, so suppliers should be prepared to work within NHS service and governance arrangements.

The process reached tender: the Trust invited offers through a Provider Selection Regime competitive process using an open procedure. Bids were due by 14 September 2026, and the public bid opening was scheduled for 14 September 2026 at 00:00. The contract is planned to run for three years from 2027 to 2030, with an extension option of up to two further years in successive one-year periods, subject to available funding. The total estimated value is £11,526,734 including the single lot. Bids must be submitted electronically or in writing, in English, and must remain valid until 1 September 2027 at 23:59. Variant bids are not allowed. The procurement is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, not the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This opportunity suits established health and employment-support providers with practical experience of delivering Individual Placement Support services. Suppliers should be able to provide the full service requirement as one package and operate effectively with an NHS foundation trust. The work is likely to require coordinated delivery between healthcare and employment-support professionals, consistent service management and the ability to meet the performance and access arrangements set out in the tender documents. It is relevant to organisations with the staffing, systems and operational capacity to sustain a substantial commissioned service, rather than suppliers offering a narrow product or one-off consultancy. Providers should also be comfortable responding to a Provider Selection Regime competitive process and working to NHS governance, assurance and information requirements.
