Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned care home placements for clients eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). The requirement is for residential nursing care services, delivered in Birmingham. It covers placements rather than a general care-at-home service, and is intended to meet the needs of eligible clients referred through the Integrated Care Board’s All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. The selected provider is Transitions Care (West Midlands) Limited, based in Wolverhampton. The service is a single care-placement requirement under the Board’s healthcare commissioning responsibilities, so relevant organisations are care home operators and residential nursing providers able to accommodate CHC-eligible clients in or serving Birmingham.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Transitions Care (West Midlands) Limited was selected for the care home placement requirement. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its published value is £1, although the arrangement carries no guarantee of activity and the value will vary with the placements delivered. The award was made using Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a competition. Patient choice was the sole evaluation basis, weighted at 100%; cost was weighted at 0%. The single lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

For a provider that did not win this award, the procurement indicates demand for residential nursing care placements for NHS Continuing Healthcare clients in Birmingham. A credible future supplier would need suitable care-home capacity, the ability to accept and support CHC-eligible residents, and arrangements that allow the commissioner to respect patient choice when identifying placements. Operational readiness matters because activity depends on the number and type of placements actually required rather than a guaranteed volume. Relevant providers are likely to include established care homes and nursing-care organisations serving Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands, with experience coordinating placements with an NHS integrated care board and delivering safe, appropriate residential nursing support to individual clients.
