The services are intended to give public sector commissioners a flexible route to commission support and initiatives as needs arise. The framework is divided into 12 lots: six covering Solihull and Birmingham localities, four covering Dudley, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Walsall, and two neurodiversity pathway lots covering Birmingham and Solihull or the Black Country. Services will be delivered across these areas in the West Midlands. Participating public bodies include NHS bodies, the West Midlands Combined Authority and local councils. Suppliers may bid for any combination of lots. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure to establish a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 November 2026 at 17:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 13 November 2026 at 17:00. The intended contract period runs from 5 January 2027 to 4 January 2031, with no extension option; the award decision was due by 14 December 2026. The estimated framework value is £36 million including VAT, and an individual supplier’s contracts under it are not expected to exceed £5 million. These are framework estimates, not guaranteed work: there is no minimum volume or spend. Call-off contracts are awarded through further competition. Quality (technical) accounts for 100% of the stated evaluation weighting; suppliers also face economic and technical selection criteria. This opportunity suits providers able to deliver employment support and work and health services for public sector commissioners in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country. The dedicated neurodiversity pathway lots may also suit organisations with relevant services for people needing neurodiversity-related employment support. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly considered suitable. Suppliers can choose which localities or pathway lots to pursue, and may bid for any combination. The framework offers a route to compete for later commissions, but appointment alone does not secure work: suppliers must compete for individual call-offs, and bids to combine lots are restricted to framework suppliers appointed to every lot in that combination. Quality is the sole stated award-weighted factor. ## Notice NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (referred to as the Commissioner) are seeking to establish a Work and Health Related Framework Agreement to support the strategic commissioning of work and health support services for several public sector bodies within the West Midlands region. Please note that a previous notice regarding this opportunity was published on FTS under reference number 2026/S 000-061251. The purpose of the purchasing framework is to provide commissioners with streamlined and timely access to suitably qualified suppliers who have the pre-requisite capabilities to deliver on key pieces of employment support or work and health services/initiatives as and when they become available during the period of the contract. The Framework will provide a compliant and flexible route to market for work and health related services and will be divided into the following lots: Birmingham and Solihull:- BSOL1 - Solihull BSOL2 - Birmingham North BSOL3 - Birmingham East BSOL4 - Birmingham Central BSOL5 - Birmingham West BSOL6 - Birmingham South Black Country:- BC1 - Dudley BC2 - Sandwell BC3 - Wolverhampton BC4 - Walsall Neurodiversity Pathway:- ND1 - Birmingham and Solihull ND2 - Black Country The contract will be for a period of 4 years with no option to extend.

It is anticipated that award of contracts to any individual supplier under this framework will not exceed PS5,000,000. The values attributed to individual lots are indicative only and do not represent any guarantee of expenditure. Actual spend may vary between lots depending on requirements and available funding.
