Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, facilitated by the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT), pertains to the Health Inequalities Project focused on a Dementia Support Service. The procurement falls under the industry category of miscellaneous health services and is located in the Birmingham region (UKG3). Currently, it is at the award stage with the intention to award notice published under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The decision to award was made following the evaluation and planning process approved by the BSMHFT Planning and Delivery subcommittee. Stakeholders interested in raising representations must do so by 11 June 2026. The process adheres to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with two new contracts set to be awarded for a 24-month period, pending representation outcomes.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those skilled in dementia support and culturally inclusive health projects, to engage with public health initiatives. Organisations like Age Connect West Midlands and The Alzheimer's Society have been recognised for their suitability under this process. Companies with expertise in these areas, particularly those operating within or willing to expand to the UKG3 region, can foresee potential growth by participating in future similar procurement processes. The specific method applied here was limited procurement without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating a focus on pre-identified, suitable providers and underscoring the importance of established reputations and expertise in securing such opportunities.
