The Trust, a prominent teaching hospital located in Birmingham, serves a broad population and is supported by more than 25,000 staff members. This tender, categorised under IT services and system management software, seeks a vendor capable of providing a robust PAM platform by the start of 2026, integrated with the organisation's infrastructure and aligning with its cybersecurity strategy. Potential suppliers must register interest and respond to the pre-market engagement exercise by 13:00 on 15th September 2025 through the Health Family Single eCommercial System Portal. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialised in IT consultancy, software development, and Internet services, particularly those adept in cybersecurity and system management solutions. SMEs, in particular, may find this tender advantageous, given their agility in adapting to specific requirements. By engaging in this procurement process, companies can establish relationships with a major public health organisation, access a long-term contract extending till the end of 2030, and contribute to advancing NHS infrastructure, thereby enhancing their portfolio and experience in the public sector. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is one of the largest teaching hospital Trusts in England, based in the West Midlands, serving a regional, national, and international population. It includes Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Good Hope Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital, and various community services. We also run several smaller satellite units, allowing people to be treated as close to home as possible. As an NHS organisation, UHB will see and treat more than 2.2 million people every year across our sites. UHB currently employs over 25,000 members of staff and is committed to investing in their development and wellbeing. For the past three years, UHB has operated a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to manage and control privileged access for both internal staff and external third-party suppliers. This solution has been a critical component in protecting sensitive systems, including server infrastructure, Active Directory, SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and various internal and externally hosted web applications and administrative portals. It has enabled the Trust to enforce least-privilege access principles, monitor privileged sessions, and maintain a strong audit trail to meet compliance and risk management requirements. However, our current supplier has recently confirmed that they will be discontinuing the PAM product. As a result, UHB must now replace the existing solution with a new platform that delivers equivalent or enhanced capabilities, integrates into our evolving infrastructure, and aligns with our cyber security strategy. ### Planning Information Potential suppliers are requested to respond to the full requirements, as detailed in Annex 1 Feedback on Requirements - UHB PAM with confirmation of ability to meet the requirement, a description of how their product meets the requirement. Suppliers must provide estimated costs for their product, including full breakdown, implementation, and ongoing support.

Procurement Process The procurement process will be subject to further approvals and this Pre-Market Engagement Exercise will help form the tender process so currently, the route to market is unknown.
