6 May 2026, 23:59 BST · scheduledThe Birmingham and Solihull / Black Country NHS procurement collaborative is considering a future procurement for Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services across multiple NHS Trusts. This preliminary market engagement is intended to inform the Authority’s approach to contract structure, lotting, and delivery model to ensure a competitive and deliverable procurement. The Authority invites brief responses on the following: Capacity: What scale of PAT testing (e.g. items per annum, number of sites) could you support? Lotting / Contract Structure: If this opportunity was Lotted, would you prefer a) geographic lots, or b) individual Trust lots? Please briefly explain why. Pricing and Volume: How does increased volume across multiple sites and Trusts impact your pricing (e.g. £ per item)? Delivery Model: How would you resource and deliver services across multiple sites, including out-of-hours working? Barriers: Are there any barriers to bidding for a larger, multi-Trust contract? Response Instructions Suppliers are invited to submit a brief response (no more than 1 page of A4) by email to parmdeep.singh@uhb.nhs.uk by 06/05/2026. Responses should be concise and focused on the questions above. Marketing materials are not required.
