Summary of the contracting process

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board procured residential care home placements, classified as residential nursing care services. The service is for placing people in care homes; the data does not describe particular care-home locations or patient needs. The buyer is the NHS body responsible for the commissioning decision, made by its All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. The procurement was arranged as a new contract for care home placements rather than a defined quantity of placements. The award states that there is no guaranteed level of activity and that the value will depend on the placements actually delivered. This requirement concerns healthcare providers able to accommodate people through care-home placements for the Birmingham and Solihull ICB.

The contract was awarded to Macc Care (SHS) Limited under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process B, without a prior call for competition. The award decision was made by NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB’s All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. Patient choice was the sole stated evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%; cost was weighted at 0%. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The contract period is 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award value is not reported; the contract records £1, which should not be taken as the expected payment for placements, since the stated value varies with delivered activity and no activity is guaranteed. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026. The procurement was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.

For providers considering similar future care-home placement work for this ICB, the outcome indicates that patient choice, rather than price, was the stated basis for selection. Credibility therefore depends on being able to offer suitable care-home placements that can respond to individual patient preferences, alongside the capacity to deliver placements as activity arises. The contract carries no guaranteed volume, so suppliers would need to assess whether they can accommodate variable demand without relying on a fixed level of referrals. This award is evidence of the ICB’s requirement for residential care-home placements through its All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. Providers with care-home placement capability relevant to the Birmingham and Solihull area are the closest fit; the procurement does not identify additional accreditation, staffing or technical requirements.
