In brief

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board has announced plans to buy recruitment work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £10,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 July 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 9 bids per contract for recruitment contracts in this region (from 42 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £10,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

NHS Birmingham and Solihull WorkWell is an early-intervention work and health support and assessment service, providing holistic support to help people overcome health-related barriers to employment, and a single, joined-up gateway to other support services. Over the last six months the pilot has helped hundreds of people in East Birmingham and North Solihull to address their work and health needs so that they can start or stay in employment.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
