Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of mental health services to the Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. This contract is valued at £2,639,457 and covers the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement falls under the 'Health services' category and the primary aim is to provide services to BSOL registered patients residing in the Black Country region. The procurement process utilized was a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and it did not fall under the remit of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The standstill period started with the intention to award notice published on 16th April 2025, and representations by providers were due by 1st May 2025.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in mental health care. Businesses that have a track record of delivering quality healthcare services within NHS frameworks would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders. Additionally, companies with the capability to provide scalable and adaptable solutions to meet the fluctuating demands in mental health services would find this sector ripe for expansion. The contract's option to extend by up to 24 months further enhances its attractiveness, providing a stable and potentially long-term business opportunity.
