Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust bought hybrid mail services for itself and three partner healthcare organisations: the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, and Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The service combines digital handling of correspondence with physical mail delivery, supporting the organisations’ outgoing communications. The procurement is categorised as postal services. The named buyer is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust; the service covers all four healthcare organisations, with delivery locations not further identified in the published procurement information.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive call-off under a framework agreement. Synertec was selected as the supplier. The award date was 8 October 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 30 April 2028, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum end date of 30 April 2030. The procurement was divided into one lot. No specific award-scoring criteria are recorded in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from a group of NHS organisations for a supplier able to provide hybrid mail across multiple healthcare bodies. A credible competitor would need to manage end-to-end correspondence services, joining digital mail preparation and processing with reliable physical mailing and delivery. The requirement is suited to suppliers with the operational capacity and systems to serve several large healthcare organisations through one arrangement, while maintaining dependable service at scale. The buyer used a competitive framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete within that route would matter for a comparable requirement. Synertec, a large supplier, was selected; the procurement does not identify specific accreditations, technical standards or scored capabilities.
