Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust intends to procure mental health rehabilitation beds in the West Midlands. The service will cover patients requiring rehabilitation involving acquired brain injury, personality disorder, learning disabilities and autism. This is a healthcare rehabilitation service, including rehabilitation hospital services, rather than the supply of equipment or construction works. The Trust is based in Birmingham and is the buying organisation for the planned service. The scope is grouped as one requirement covering the provision of mental health rehabilitation beds across these patient groups. Suppliers with relevant inpatient rehabilitation facilities, clinical teams and experience supporting people with complex mental health or neurodevelopmental needs may find the planned requirement relevant. The service is intended for delivery in the West Midlands.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure and is undertaking preliminary market engagement, rather than inviting tenders. The buyer expects a subsequent notice to be published on 7 August 2026. The estimated total procurement value is £152,000,000, including the planned requirement for mental health rehabilitation beds and related patient groups. The procurement is described as a services contract and is expected to use a tender process under the legal framework for public contracts. The requirement is planned as a single lot. Market engagement information is available through the Atamis Portal using project reference C463835. Suppliers should treat the stated date as indicative and use the engagement stage to understand the eventual requirements.

The planned service is likely to suit providers of specialist mental health rehabilitation, rehabilitation hospitals and secure or supported inpatient care. Relevant organisations may include NHS providers, independent healthcare companies and specialist voluntary-sector providers with established clinical governance and suitable facilities in, or serving, the West Midlands. Experience across acquired brain injury, personality disorder, learning disabilities and autism will be important because the scope brings these patient groups together. Strong multidisciplinary teams, appropriate accommodation, rehabilitation pathways and the capacity to provide sustained patient care are likely to be central to delivery. Providers should prepare evidence of comparable rehabilitation outcomes, safeguarding arrangements, workforce capability and regulatory compliance before the requirement reaches the market. Early engagement may help capable suppliers shape and clarify the eventual service model.
