## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured a service contract for contract administration services. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s hospital operations in Birmingham, with the buyer based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston. The selected supplier is Avidity Science Ltd, a large UK company. The procurement title identifies the requirement as a service contract and a waiver arrangement. The work is therefore relevant to businesses providing contract administration or closely related administrative support to NHS hospital organisations, particularly suppliers able to work with a large healthcare trust and its operational contracting requirements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. Avidity Science Ltd holds the active award, and the associated contract is active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £95,000 excluding VAT, or £114,000 including VAT. The stated evaluation basis is the direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment. The requirement was classified as contract administration services. The contracting authority is University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, and the selected supplier is Avidity Science Ltd.

This procurement is evidence that University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust buys dedicated contract administration services through a below-threshold direct-award route. A business considering similar NHS work would need a credible capability in contract administration, supported by the organisational capacity to manage a multi-year service arrangement for a large hospital trust. Avidity Science Ltd’s selection provides a benchmark for the type of established supplier that has satisfied this requirement. Relevant firms can use the procurement to assess whether they offer comparable administrative expertise, understand healthcare-sector contracting environments and can support the Trust’s operational needs at a similar scale when the requirement next reaches the market.
