## Summary

The NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board has finalised its procurement process for the renewal of a smart messaging service, specifically targeting Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) services within the goods industry category. This procurement falls under the selective method, being a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services' framework agreement: RM6116 Network Services 3: Lot 3b. The awarding stage was completed with British Telecommunications PLC as the supplier, beginning the contract from the 1st of April 2026 until the 31st of March 2027, at a value of £38,900. The procurement process took place at Cardinal Square, Derby, with delivery set for WV1 1SH, UK, and was officially published on the 20th of April 2026, following the tender period which ended on the 6th of March 2026.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in communication platforms and messaging services, especially those capable of providing Enhanced Messaging Service solutions. While the current supplier is British Telecommunications PLC, the usage of a call-off framework like that of Crown Commercial Services might offer similar businesses avenues for future involvement through competitive bids. This sort of contract can be particularly appealing to large-scale enterprises due to the nature and scale of service provision required; however, there is potential for growth and partnership for smaller businesses that can meet specific criteria within the same framework agreements or future tenders. Engaging with NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board can enhance visibility and credibility in the public sector, paving the way for sustained business growth.
