Work and Health Related Services

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board is establishing a Work and Health Related Framework Agreement so that public sector commissioners in the West Midlands can buy employment support and work and health services quickly from suppliers who are already approved. Work is called off through further competition as projects arise, and a place on the framework does not guarantee any minimum value or volume.

The lots: Birmingham and Solihull has six locality lots: BSOL1 Solihull, BSOL2 Birmingham North, BSOL3 Birmingham East, BSOL4 Birmingham Central, BSOL5 Birmingham West and BSOL6 Birmingham South. The Black Country has four: BC1 Dudley, BC2 Sandwell, BC3 Wolverhampton and BC4 Walsall. Two Neurodiversity Pathway lots cover ND1 Birmingham and Solihull and ND2 the Black Country.

Suppliers may bid for any combination of lots. Value and term: the framework has an estimated core value of £36 million including VAT over its full term. It runs for four years, from 5 January 2027 to 4 January 2031, with no option to extend.

Quality (technical) criteria are set out in the procurement documents, and every lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. An earlier notice for this opportunity was published on Find a Tender as 2026/S 000-061251. How to bid: register on the Atamis portal and search for project reference C484624, Work and Health Related Services.

Clarification questions close at 17:00 UTC on 13 November 2026, and bids must be submitted by 17:00 UTC on 23 November 2026. Care Sync's advice: bid for the localities where you can already show local delivery, referral links and outcomes, rather than every lot, and if you support autistic people or people with ADHD, look closely at the two neurodiversity lots.
