Summary of the contracting process

This contracting process involves the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, a body governed by public law focusing on health services in the United Kingdom. The procurement is titled "Provision of mental health school teams," targeting the miscellaneous health services category to enhance mental health resources in schools across Birmingham. Although originally intended as a direct award without prior competition, it is subject to the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations. As of the latest update on 17 February 2026, the tender is in the standstill phase under these regulations, with an important deadline for representations set for 24 February 2026. This tender's scope includes services to be delivered from 1 July 2025 to 31 March 2028, promising a substantial investment totalling approximately £18,278,310.10.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses within the health services sector, particularly those experienced in mental health support within educational settings. Given that the procurement follows a Provider Selection Regime, it is crucial for prospective suppliers to demonstrate their ability to meet the contract's quality and price criteria effectively. Businesses with a proven track record in delivering similar services could greatly benefit from this contract, especially due to its potential for extension, reliant on continued funding and successful KPI achievement. Companies focused on expanding in public health service infrastructure in the UK, particularly large-scale enterprises, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The award to Compass underscores the emphasis on established providers capable of maintaining high standards in similar contracts.
