Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council pertains to a formally modified contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract, titled "Provision of School Health Nursing and Child Vision Screening Services," falls within the health services industry category and is specifically focussed on the School Health Nursing Service located in the UKG37 region. This procurement process is currently in the contract update stage as of 3rd November 2025. The initial term for the modified contract was from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025, with an extension for Lot 1 until 31st March 2027. This process follows an open procurement method specified under CELEX:32014L0024, with a recent decision to extend Lot 1 while not extending Lot 2.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and community services to partner with a local authority to deliver essential health services. Specifically, businesses with expertise in nursing and child health services would find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. The extension and modification of the contract, particularly the adjustment to the cost model including staff cost increases and management fee changes, indicate a focus on providing value for money. Large organisations who can manage such restructuring and maintain value-driven service delivery in accordance with revised contracts might find this opportunity advantageous for growth and local presence expansion. The primary suppliers involved, Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Hospitals Trust and Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, highlight the scale and capacity expected for the successful management of the service contracts.
