Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned care home placements through its All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. The service is residential nursing care for people needing care home accommodation. The requirement relates to delivery in the Birmingham area. This is a healthcare service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and the placement activity is driven by individuals’ care needs. The contract provides for placements without a guaranteed volume, so the amount of activity depends on the placements actually delivered. The award is part of the ICB’s continuing responsibility to arrange care for eligible people, with patient choice central to the selection decision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Home From Home Care Limited. The award decision was made on 17 September 2026, and the contract was signed. The contract runs from 2 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated contract value is £1, although the terms say there is no guaranteed activity and that value varies with activity delivered. This is a new contract for one requirement, handled through Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a published competition. Evaluation gave 100% weight to patient choice and 0% to cost. NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB made the decision; the notice records no declared interests.

For the next comparable requirement, credible providers will need to deliver residential nursing care home placements suited to people receiving All Age Continuing Healthcare, while supporting patient choice. The buyer’s selection basis makes the fit between an individual’s needs and the available placement more important than price in this award. Providers should be prepared for activity-led work with no assured volume, rather than relying on a fixed throughput. A care home operator with the ability to accommodate placements and respond to the needs of people requiring nursing care is directly relevant. This award shows the ICB uses the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process B for this requirement, so suppliers should understand that route and be able to demonstrate a strong, choice-focused service for placements in the Birmingham area.
