Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham Children's Trust Community Interest Company has completed the procurement of Clinical Psychology Services, specifically targeting the psychological aspects within the Adoption and Special Guardianship Order Services. Located in Birmingham, this contract serves the West Midlands area designated as UKG. The focus is on providing comprehensive support requiring assessment, preparation, post-placement support, and consultations. Recognised as a public authority under the sub-central government, the procurement process was conducted through an open method below threshold competition. Milestones include the contract award notice on 30th April 2026 and service commencement scheduled from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and social work services, as evidenced by Conatus Health Limited, an SME based in Kenilworth, being awarded the contract. With a contract value based on estimated annual consultations potentially enhanced by variations, businesses offering comprehensive clinical psychology services tailored to adoption contexts might find a significant growth opportunity. The procurement settings are favourable for SMEs, allowing them to leverage their expertise in psychological support to influence and expand within the public sector.
