Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board, acting as the buyer, has awarded a contract under urgent circumstances for residential nursing care services, specifically dementia care home beds. This contract, initiated by tender and legally based on the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, was awarded to Restful Homes (Solihull) Ltd. The process bypassed the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, responding to an unexpected loss of capacity. The contract runs from 29th July 2026 to 28th July 2027, focusing on services in the UKG32 region. It deals with the urgent need to provide dementia care home beds to aid hospital discharge processes, with an estimated value between £482,321 and £1,598,909. The procurement stage is complete, with this specific award deemed necessary to maintain health services flow during unforeseen circumstances.

This contract provides a clear growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in healthcare services, particularly those offering residential dementia care. Businesses with expertise in managing rapid procurement needs, especially under urgent circumstances, would be well-suited for such tenders. The focus on a limited procurement method without prior publication underscores the necessity for adaptable and responsive service providers who can meet immediate health sector demands. Companies within the residential nursing care industry can use this precedent to explore similar contracts where rapid mobilisation and service delivery capacity are critical. The successful provision of such services could enhance the portfolio and standing of participating businesses in this crucial area of public health care.
