UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured hybrid mail services: a service that combines digital document handling with physical mail delivery. The arrangement is described as serving University Hospitals Birmingham, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham Women’s and Children’s, and Birmingham Community Healthcare. The listed procurement item is postal services, so the requirement centres on processing and delivering mail for these NHS organisations. Synertec provides the service under a collaborative arrangement. The buyer is Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, based in Birmingham; the supplier is based in Wellington, Somerset. The work supports several healthcare organisations rather than a single site, although the procurement does not identify delivery addresses or a more detailed service specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Synertec Limited on 8 October 2026 through a selective procedure under a framework agreement. The award value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT (£1,200,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 30 April 2028, with provision for two 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 30 April 2030. This was a single-lot award, made without a competitive call-off. The arrangement covers hybrid mail services for Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, University Hospitals Birmingham, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital and Birmingham Community Healthcare. The recorded contract signature was scheduled for 9 October 2026.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from this NHS collaboration, the award demonstrates demand for hybrid mail serving multiple healthcare organisations at a substantial, multi-year scale. A credible competitor would need to combine reliable digital document processing with physical postal fulfilment and the operational capacity to support several NHS organisations through one service arrangement. Experience coordinating service delivery across organisational boundaries and maintaining dependable mail operations would be relevant to the requirement. The procurement was placed as an award under a framework, so suppliers would also need a route to compete through an appropriate framework rather than relying on an open standalone tender. The selected provider, Synertec Limited, is a large supplier, indicating that delivery capacity is an important commercial consideration for this collaborative service.
