Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has initiated the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) procurement process for the provision of mental health services for children and young people (CYP) in the Birmingham area. Classified under the health services category (CPV: 85100000), this procurement involves awarding a contract valued at £16,428,052 with the contract term running from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025. The formal award process began with a standstill period starting on 11 April 2025, concluding with no challenges received. The direct award process was utilised, and the contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, bypassing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in mental health services for children and young people. The direct award process and the health-specific requirements signify that businesses already engaged in similar contracts or those capable of demonstrating robust, reliable service provision will be well-suited to compete. The successful provision of services under this contract can augment their portfolio, showcase their capabilities to other NHS trusts and public health entities, and potentially lead to continuity or expansion of service provisions in subsequent procurement cycles.
