[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board and NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board are seeking to put in place a framework agreement for suitably experienced and qualified providers of Work and Health and/or Employment Support Services. This event is aimed at providers who may be interested in being part of the framework agreement. We intend to give potential providers an overview of how the procurement process will be run, how the contract form will be structured and key areas they should look to be aware of in order to increase their chances of success in terms of being included on the framework. There will also be an opportunity to hear from the Commissioners in terms of their goals for the framework. Initial mini-competitions against the framework are likely to take in Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country's initial requirements under the WorkWell programme. It is also possible that other future requirements both from the ICB and Local Authority partners will utilise the framework. In terms of the service itself, suppliers who are on the framework will be required to carry out specific Work and Health and/or Employment Support provisions as programme opportunities present themselves. These will be specified as part of the mini-competitions run against the framework and individual specifications around these will be issued as and when these opportunities present themselves. Where applicable, providers will be expected to deliver these provisions in accordance with the applicable funding rules and appropriate guidance which may be linked to the funding stream(s). It is anticipated that the framework will be split into 6, headline lots with 12 sub-lots , these are generally geographical in nature with lot 6a and b covering pathways which cut across Birmingham and the Black Country. The lots are planned as follows: - Lot 1 a - Solihull - Lot 1 b - East Birmingham - Lot 2 a - North Birmingham - Lot 2 b - West Birmingham - Lot 3 a - Central Birmingham - Lot 3 b - South Birmingham - Lot 4 a - Dudley - Lot 4 b - Sandwell - Lot 5 a - Walsall - Lot 5 b - Wolverhampton - Lot 6 a Neuro-diverse pathways for Birmingham and Solihull - Lot 6 b - Neuro-diverse pathways for the Black Country Read full description ## CPV classification Job search services Education and training services Health and social work services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-065d07-2026-06-30T13:26:32+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-065d07-2026-06-30T13:26:32+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
