## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust procured hybrid mail services for itself and three partner organisations: Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, and Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The service is described as hybrid mail, combining postal and telecommunications services. The procurement is titled as a collaboration across UHB, ROH, BWC and BCHC, with Synertec providing the service. The Trust is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The requirement centres on providing hybrid mail across these four healthcare organisations, rather than a general postal service opportunity.

The procurement is complete and Synertec Ltd was selected for the contract. The award is recorded as pending, with a planned signature date of 1 October 2026. The award date was 30 September 2026. The stated value is £2,359,179.41 excluding VAT and £2,831,015.29 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions and a latest possible end date of 30 April 2030. The buyer used a direct award, stating that the service is fully integrated within the Trust and that changing provider at this time would disrupt patient care. There is one lot.

For suppliers considering similar work for these healthcare organisations, this award demonstrates demand for a hybrid mail service delivered across four collaborating trusts. The stated reason for selecting Synertec was that its service is fully integrated within the Trust and that changing provider at this point would disrupt patient care. A credible competitor would therefore need to show that its hybrid mail service can fit into the Trust’s existing operations and maintain continuity for patient-facing services during any transition. The requirement is for a shared service spanning University Hospitals Birmingham, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and Birmingham Community Healthcare. The award does not describe further technical, accreditation or staffing requirements.
