## Summary

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is seeking a supplier for maintenance, support, supply, break/fix repairs and relocation of its IT and estates passive cabling infrastructure. The work covers copper, fibre and telephony cabling, communications cabinets, and traditional telephony cabling infrastructure. This is network cabling work (CPV 32421000). Delivery is in Birmingham, England, for the Trust. The requirement spans both network infrastructure and telephony, so it may suit cabling contractors able to support hospital estate and IT operations across these systems.

The Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for clarification questions was 2 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 10 November 2026 at 17:00. The estimated value is £8.75 million excluding VAT (£10.5 million including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 9 January 2027 to 8 January 2032, with two-year extensions available and an indicated maximum end date of 8 January 2034. There is one lot. Evaluation weighting is stated as 55% technical written evaluation, 10% social value and 35% commercial; the lot criteria also describe technical as 50%, social value as 10% and commercial as 40%. Economic and technical selection requirements are set out by reference to the selection questionnaire.

The requirement specifically calls for suppliers with relevant experience delivering, maintaining and supporting both traditional passive infrastructure networks and Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) environments. Businesses should be equipped to supply and maintain copper, fibre and telephony cabling, support communications cabinets and traditional telephony infrastructure, and carry out break/fix work and relocations. The scope combines ongoing support with supply and repair activity across IT and estates infrastructure, so it is suited to providers able to cover this range of services for a large healthcare organisation. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to compete. Bids are assessed on technical quality, social value and commercial factors, while economic and technical selection criteria also apply.
