Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is procuring a workforce management system for its hospital organisation in Birmingham. The requirement is a services contract covering workforce management software, including time-accounting and human-resources software development services. The system is intended to support the Trust’s workforce management activities rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The procurement is a single requirement rather than a series of separately described lots. It may suit suppliers providing configurable workforce management platforms, time-recording tools, human-resources technology or related software development services. The buying organisation is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston and the requirement is for the Trust’s operations in Birmingham.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses two stages: written technical, social value and commercial evaluation, followed by presentations. Questions were due by 24 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 8 October 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the Atamis e-Tendering portal, reference C452919. The expected award decision date was 8 December 2026. The contract period was set from 24 December 2026 to 23 December 2029, with two 12-month extension options and a maximum end date of 23 December 2031. The published contract value is £0 gross, with evaluation based on “£ per assessed benefit”.

This opportunity suits suppliers of workforce management systems and related human-resources or time-accounting software services. Businesses with experience developing, configuring or implementing software for workforce administration are likely to find the requirement relevant. The evaluation includes technical, commercial and social-value considerations, followed by presentations, so bidders need to explain both their proposed system and the benefits it would deliver. The stated award basis is the pounds paid per assessed benefit, making the ability to demonstrate measurable value important. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so participation is not limited to large technology vendors. Suppliers should be able to provide written responses and present their solution.
