Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned residential nursing care services for dementia care home beds for Pathway 2 discharge clients. The requirement covers both block-purchased and spot-purchased beds for people with dementia who are medically fit to leave hospital. Its purpose is to support hospital flow, improve outcomes for patients ready for discharge and preserve capacity for people requiring hospital admission. Services are delivered in Birmingham. The classification is residential nursing care services (CPV 85144100). The selected provider, Restful Homes (Sutton Coldfield) Ltd, is based in Walsall. The requirement was commissioned by the ICB’s urgent and emergency care team following an unforeseen loss of capacity in the local care system.

This is a completed urgent award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The urgent-circumstances provision was used because of an unforeseen loss of system capacity; the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. Restful Homes (Sutton Coldfield) Ltd was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 July 2027. Its value is £2,322,130, including variable factors such as special-observation costs and spot-purchase placements. The award prioritised addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care; cost was not an award criterion.

This award shows established demand from NHS Birmingham and Solihull for dementia-capable care home capacity supporting hospital discharge. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements would need suitable residential nursing facilities, the ability to care for people with dementia and capacity to provide Pathway 2 beds at short notice. They would also need to manage both planned block arrangements and variable spot placements, including patients whose needs may require special observation. Reliable coordination with the ICB and hospitals, safe discharge support and demonstrable quality of care would be central to credibility. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of service can be delivered by a smaller specialist care provider with appropriate local capacity.
