Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was conducted by the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust for the provision of Mental Health School Teams in Birmingham, classified under the 'Miscellaneous health services' industry category. The contract, with an estimated value of £1,300,000, covers a service period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. This process is categorised under services and took place under urgent circumstances, leading to an award without prior publication of a call for competition. The selection was governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and aligned with the Provider Selection Regime but not the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award was finalised due to extreme urgency, as recognised on 26 March 2026, with the contract status marked as complete from the same date.

The award of this contract presents substantial opportunities for large-scale health service providers, specifically those with expertise in mental health services. The focus on the Birmingham region requires businesses that can efficiently manage and deploy mental health teams to address immediate risks to safety and quality of care in educational settings. Companies with a proven track record in rapid mobilisation and training of healthcare teams, such as the selected provider, Compass, are well-positioned to benefit and expand their services within the UK health industry. This tender underscores the potential for growth and collaboration with public health organisations under pressing circumstances, offering a significant platform for delivery and innovation within the health services domain.
