Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust is currently in the award stage of a contracting process for the provision of mental health navigators and coordinators, aimed at enhancing services for children and young persons. This contract falls within the miscellaneous health services category, focusing specifically on mental health support. The procurement is conducted under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) according to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, exempting it from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Representations regarding the decision must be made by 24 February 2026, marking the start of the standstill period. The contract is anticipated to run from 1 July 2025 to 31 March 2027, with a potential extension dependent on funding and performance criteria. The procurement method is limited, entailing an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and the associated value of this contract is £166,722.50.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing mental health services, particularly those with existing frameworks or expertise in coordinating community health initiatives. Birmingham Mind has been identified as the supplier, reflecting the decision to continue with an existing provider under PSR Direct Award C, suggesting satisfaction with prior engagements. Larger-scale charities and organisations specialising in mental health support for young individuals may find themselves well-suited to bid for future opportunities, given their ability to meet rigorous quality and performance criteria. The procurement strategy, primarily focused on quality and price, sets a foundation for organised and effective mental health service delivery, thereby fostering an environment for potential collaborations and growth opportunities for dedicated stakeholders in the health sector.
