Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust bought mental health services for patients registered with a Birmingham, Solihull and Black Country GP who live in the Black Country. The requirement is for healthcare service provision to this defined patient group, rather than general health services across the region. The selected provider is Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, based in West Bromwich. The procurement is categorised as health services (CPV 85100000).

The contract has been formally awarded to Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust through direct award process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The decision was approved on 15 April 2025, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2025. Its recorded value is £2,639,457. The contract period runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2027, as stated in the later contract details; earlier details gave an end date of 31 March 2026. The process used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition. The stated evaluation basis was price. The buyer said its decision relied on the existing provider’s demonstrated delivery under the previous contract and confidence in continued performance.

For providers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award indicates demand for mental health services tailored to patients registered with a Birmingham, Solihull and Black Country GP and resident in the Black Country. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a track record of delivering this service to the specified patient group and give the Trust confidence that performance would continue under a new arrangement. The stated decision focused on the incumbent’s prior delivery, while the recorded evaluation criterion was price, so providers should be able to evidence service performance and offer a competitive cost for a comparable scope. This is a substantial, regionally focused healthcare service awarded to an established NHS foundation trust, rather than a general mental health or nationwide service requirement.
