UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust commissioned recruitment services to appoint a managing director for Vital Services. The requirement concerns executive recruitment for the Trust, based in Birmingham. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple local NHS trusts.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly without competition, under a below-threshold procedure, to Hunter Healthcare. The contract value is £48,000 excluding VAT (£57,600 including VAT). The contract was signed on 15 December 2025 and runs from 16 December 2025 to 16 September 2026. The award record does not give an award date. The single lot covered recruitment services; no evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award indicates demand from Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust for specialist executive recruitment to appoint a managing director for Vital Services. Hunter Healthcare, a large supplier, was selected for this requirement through a direct award. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver senior-level recruitment for NHS services. The procurement was managed through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, so familiarity with public-sector health procurement and the needs of multiple NHS trusts would be relevant.
