In plain English
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS needs a supplier to maintain and repair all their data and telephone cabling infrastructure across their sites. This includes copper cables, fibre optic cables, phone lines, and the cabinets that house this equipment, plus break/fix services and relocation work when needed.
What the buyer wants
• Supply, install, maintain and repair copper, fibre and telephone cabling throughout the hospital • Provide break/fix emergency repair services for cabling and communications cabinets • Support relocation of cabling infrastructure when departments move • Demonstrate experience with both traditional phone cabling and modern Passive Optical LAN (POLAN) systems • Provide ongoing maintenance and technical support for all passive infrastructure
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £8.75 million contract requiring proven large-scale infrastructure experience: most small sole traders or generalist electricians without specialist cabling credentials and verifiable healthcare sector experience will struggle to meet the technical and insurance requirements, and the contract almost certainly requires TUPE employment of existing staff.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
