Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for secure patient transport services, specifically for mental health patients, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The direct award process was finalised on 29th July 2024, with the service period intended from 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025. The procurement falls under the category of ambulance services (CPV 85143000) and the contract has a value of approximately £1,294,744. The procurement method utilised was a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, in compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly suited for companies specialising in regulated transportation services within the healthcare sector. Given that the service requires providers to be registered with the Care Quality Commission, businesses with existing CQC accreditation and a strong track record in secure patient transport for mental health services will be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, the clear definition of the service requirements and the significant contract value create robust opportunities for companies aiming to expand their footprint in Birmingham and the broader UKG3 region.
