Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, has culminated in the awarding of a contract under the urgent circumstances provision for the procurement of Domiciliary Optical Goods and Services within Secure Care units in Birmingham. This falls within the health services category, specifically optician services. The process was completed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 are not applicable. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026, with a value of £14,000, covering the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement method employed was with limited competition, a necessity due to immediate risks to patient safety and quality of care in Birmingham and Solihull.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those adept in providing optical care within the secure care environment. Businesses with expertise in providing essentials that cater to urgent healthcare requirements would be well-placed to deliver value in such critical settings. Since the procurement was conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, organisations that are agile and ready to respond quickly to bespoke needs in the healthcare sector will find opportunities for growth. Additionally, large-scale suppliers like Birmingham 1 Domiciliary Specsavers Ltd, which has successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to leverage their capabilities in future procurements requiring similar urgency and specialisation.
