UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust bought works covering cabling infrastructure and WiFi access-point installation. The requirement was delivered for the Trust in Birmingham. 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 work falls within computer cabling installation. Westcon Services, based in Stourbridge in the West Midlands, was the appointed supplier. The procurement therefore concerns practical communications infrastructure work in an NHS estate, combining structured cabling activity with the installation of wireless network access points. Businesses with experience delivering these types of network infrastructure works for healthcare or other operational public-sector environments would find the requirement most closely aligned with their service offer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Westcon Services received the award for the single lot. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The contract period ran from 8 July 2026 to 7 August 2026. Its value was £27,755.83 excluding VAT and £33,307 including VAT. The contracting process records the requirement as works and the contract as active. The recorded outcome is therefore a completed, short-duration cabling and WiFi installation contract awarded through a non-competitive route, rather than an open tender evaluated against competing bids. The appointed supplier was Westcon Services.

This award shows that Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has bought a defined package of computer cabling and WiFi access-point installation through the Birmingham and Solihull shared procurement service. For a supplier seeking comparable future NHS infrastructure work, credibility would rest on demonstrable capability to install and support structured computer cabling and wireless access points as one coordinated service. Experience working safely and reliably in live healthcare or similarly critical operational environments would help a business evidence its suitability, provided that experience can be demonstrated in the procurement requirements. The short, focused contract also indicates a requirement that can be delivered as a contained infrastructure project rather than a long-term managed network service. Specialist network-installation contractors and larger infrastructure firms with sufficient delivery capacity are the closest commercial comparators.
