Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group is in the planning stage of the Solihull Wheelchair Service procurement process, valued at £2,160,000. This tender, classified under health services (CPV 85100000), is aimed at re-procuring wheelchair services currently provided in the Birmingham and Solihull area after the existing provider handed in their notice. A market engagement event for interested providers is set for 15th June 2021, during which attendees will have a chance to discuss the service specification and complete a questionnaire to guide the Commissioning Group in their preparations. The proposed service must be operational by April 2022, necessitating swift action from providers to position themselves for this opportunity.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in wheelchair services, including those offering motorised and manual wheelchairs, as well as repair and maintenance services. Companies that can demonstrate experience in delivering health services and have the capacity to procure or manage suitable premises will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this tender process not only allows for direct service provision but can also lead to collaborations and partnerships within the healthcare sector, ultimately supporting business growth in a crucial industry.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Solihull Wheelchair Service

Notice Description

NOTE - This notice is for a market engagement event only. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU, on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull CCG are keen to canvas the views of suitably qualified and experienced providers of wheelchair services in order to understand the market's views in terms of the proposed service specification coupled with the anticipated activity and funding envelope. As such, the CCG is providing a number of documents with regard to the proposed service including the service specification and current activity. In order to assist the CCG with their preparations, providers are asked to complete a short questionnaire when registering their interest. The event will be held virtually on 15th June 2021 between 9am and 10.30am. There will then be an opportunity for providers to have one-to-one sessions with the Commissioners if they wish.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Within Birmingham and Solihull CCG there are currently two wheelchair services in operation, the Birmingham Wheelchair Service (BWS) and the Solihull WHeelchair Service (SWS). Birmingham and Solihull CCG intend to re-procure the Solihull Wheelchair Service as the current provider has handed in their notice. A replacement service therefore needs to be in place and fully operational before April 2022. In 2019/20, Solihull Wheelchair Service records indicated 5200 registered service users. There were around 709 new referrals and 363 re-referrals per annum. As of 26th May 2021, there were 241 open episodes of care. The service is currently provided from the Better Living Centre, service users' homes or school, hospice or hospital settings. It is anticipated that the Better Living Centre will not be available to the newly appointed provider, so new premises will need to be sought for the service going forward. Additional information: This is a market engagement exercise only and does not commit the Commissioners to carry out a procurement process. Please note that whilst there may be an opportunity to comment on various aspects of the service, the Commissioners are not obliged to incoporate comments received.
