Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board is setting up a four-year framework, a pre-approved list of providers, for work and health support services. Organisations on the list can then be asked to deliver employment support for people with health conditions or disabilities, including a neurodiversity pathway, across Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country. The framework is worth about £36 million including VAT, split into 12 local lots.

What the buyer wants

• Apply to join the framework by submitting a bid through the Atamis portal (project reference C484624), with briefing sessions on 28 October 2026 and 11 November 2026 at 13:00. • Show you can deliver work and health or employment support services in a specific locality (for example, Solihull, Dudley or Wolverhampton) or in the neurodiversity pathway. • Be ready to bid for individual call-off contracts through further competitions, with no guaranteed volume of work and a cap of £5 million per supplier.

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Lacking a track record of delivering employment or health-related support services, along with the financial standing and insurance cover required to pass pass or fail checks, would stop most very small firms from qualifying.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
