UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a Birthrate Plus workforce-planning full assessment at Royal Derby Hospital and Queen’s Hospital Burton. Birthrate Plus Associates Limited supplied the work, classified as software and information systems. The assessment concerns workforce planning across the Trust’s two named hospital sites. The awarded item also lists delivery across several English regions, but gives no place names for those locations. The requirement is relevant to providers of workforce-planning assessment services and associated software or information systems, particularly those able to undertake a full assessment for NHS hospital services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust awarded the single lot directly, below threshold and without competition, to Birthrate Plus Associates Limited. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 30 September to 1 October 2026. Its stated value is £12,000 excluding VAT and £14,400 including VAT. The assessment is described as full and covers Royal Derby Hospital and Queen’s Hospital Burton. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the award followed a direct, non-competitive route rather than a scored competition.

This award shows a specific requirement for a full Birthrate Plus workforce-planning assessment across two hospitals within one NHS foundation trust, delivered through a direct below-threshold purchase. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this Trust would need a credible capability to assess workforce requirements across multiple hospital sites and provide the associated software or information systems. Birthrate Plus Associates Limited was selected for this requirement, giving a clear example of the type of specialist provider used. The evidence points to a focused assessment engagement rather than a broad workforce transformation programme, so suppliers whose offer centres on hospital workforce-planning assessments are the closest fit.
