Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board procured domiciliary care services, classified as community health services. The requirement covers home care placements for patients receiving all-age continuing healthcare. Services are delivered across Birmingham and Solihull. The buying organisation is the NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board, through its All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. The contract is a new arrangement for providing care in patients’ homes, with activity dependent on the placements and care actually delivered. It sits within the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, rather than the general public procurement regime. The selected provider is Priority Plus Limited, a Coventry-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The service therefore suits organisations providing regulated or otherwise suitable home-based care and support to NHS-funded patients.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Priority Plus Limited was selected for the home care requirement following Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This was a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, and one bid was recorded. The award was made on 7 September 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its recorded value is £1, with the actual value varying according to care activity delivered and no guaranteed activity. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice: quality carried 100% and cost 0%. The award is active, while the associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

This award shows demand from NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB for home-based continuing healthcare placements across Birmingham and Solihull. A credible competitor would need to deliver domiciliary care reliably in patients’ homes, manage placement-led activity that can vary without guaranteed volume, and work within NHS continuing healthcare arrangements. Patient choice was the sole recorded evaluation consideration, so providers would need a service model that supports patients’ preferences and gives the ICB confidence in safe, suitable placement decisions. Relevant organisations include established community and home care providers with the operational capacity to cover the local area, coordinate care for all-age patients and respond to variable demand. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation.
