Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of British Sign Language NHS Talking Therapies under urgent circumstances guided by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). This award, falling outside the scope of traditional Public Contracts Regulations 2015, focuses on health services aimed specifically at deaf patients registered with Birmingham and Solihull GPs. Classified within 'Miscellaneous health services', the contract commenced on 20 February 2026, and is valued at £42,511. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method without prior publication, adhering to Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Approval was granted on 24 February 2026 by the BSMHFT MHPC Executive Steering Group, with Sign Health identified as the supplier.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social care services, specifically those offering services to the deaf community using British Sign Language (BSL). The focus on urgent clinical need to address immediate risks to safety and quality of care opens doors for specialised providers with capabilities in delivering high-quality health services tailored to BSL speakers. Companies in the health services industry, particularly those with experience in collaborative healthcare and innovative therapy solutions, will find this a promising avenue for growth and partnership with the NHS in the West Midlands region.
