Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust is in the process of procuring services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for a Recovery House facility including staffing. This facility caters to individuals experiencing an acute mental health crisis, and will function 24 hours, 7 days a week. The main procurement category is services, specifically home for the psychologically disturbed. The procurement approach is via an open procedure, with the trust seeking competitive tenders. The contract, valued at approximately £5,000,000 over three years with an option to extend by two additional years, is intended to commence in July 2025. Key dates include the standstill period beginning after 1 April 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health care provision, accommodations, and staffing services, particularly those familiar with short-term crisis interventions. Organisations that can provide a safe, supportive environment and implement models of co-production, solution-focused, and brief interventions are well-suited to compete. The contract offers a stable, long-term business opportunity, potentially extending up to five years, which could aid in business growth and stability for the supplier. As the service aims to reduce inpatient admissions and improve patient flow, businesses excelling in innovative, value-driven care would likely benefit most from this contract.
