## Summary

Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured NHS alliance membership services from NHS Confederation. The requirement was for membership of an NHS alliance, classified as membership organisation services. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust managed the procurement through the Birmingham and Solihull Procurement Collaborative, a shared procurement service acting for multiple NHS trusts in the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System. The work relates to the NHS and the buying organisation is based in Birmingham. The selected supplier is NHS Confederation, a large organisation providing the membership service. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to organisations that provide formal membership, alliance or related support services for NHS or public-sector bodies.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to NHS Confederation. It used a direct award procedure below the applicable threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and ran from 23 July 2026 to 21 August 2026. Its value was £11,640 excluding tax, or £13,968 including tax. The award and contract are recorded as active, and the procurement had one completed lot. The stated requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract therefore records a concluded membership purchase, not an opportunity for further suppliers to submit bids under this process.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the procurement demonstrates a defined NHS demand for alliance membership services bought directly by an NHS trust. Organisations well placed for comparable requirements would be established membership bodies or alliance providers able to deliver a recognised service for NHS stakeholders, support participation across an NHS system, and operate at the scale expected by a large public-sector customer. Relevant experience would include supplying membership services to NHS trusts or similar healthcare organisations, understanding the needs of multiple participating trusts, and providing a structured service rather than a one-off consultancy or general support package. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that credibility in this market includes institutional scale and a strong NHS-facing proposition.
