The Trust serves patients through Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Birmingham Chest Clinic, Good Hope Hospital, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Solihull Hospital, community services and smaller satellite units. The solution is intended for use across this large, multi-site NHS organisation, which treats more than 2.2 million people each year and employs over 20,000 staff. This is a software procurement rather than a works contract or a service commission. The buyer is the Trust; the information provided does not describe detailed technical features or the specific vulnerabilities the solution is expected to manage. The process is at the planning stage: the Trust has announced an intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. It is undertaking preliminary market engagement and expects interested suppliers to respond to a questionnaire through the Health Family Single eCommercial System portal by 13:00 on 15 October 2026. The Trust expects a further notice on 14 December 2026. The planned contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with a possible extension to 31 December 2031. The procurement is divided into one lot and is expected to include a renewal option. No procurement procedure, evaluation criteria or budget value is stated. This market engagement is relevant to suppliers of vulnerability management software, including small and medium-sized businesses, which the Trust has identified as suitable for the procurement. The intended customer is a large teaching hospital trust operating across hospitals, community services and satellite units, with a workforce of more than 20,000 and over 2.2 million patients treated annually. Suppliers whose products can be considered for deployment across a broad NHS organisation may wish to contribute to the market engagement and help inform the planned requirement. The available information sets out no specific technical capabilities, accreditations, delivery capacity or previous experience requirements, so suppliers should not assume these have been established. The process is for preparation and market engagement, not bidding for a contract now. ## Notice University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) is one of the largest teaching hospital Trusts in England and the West Midlands, serving a regional, national and international population.
