## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is initiating the procurement of the Solihull Wheelchair Service, previously managed by Solihull Metropolitan Council. This tender, classified under 'Social and Other Specific Services' and relating to health services, is currently in the tender stage. The bidding period ends on 23 March 2022, while the contract is set to commence on 1 November 2022, lasting for an initial period of 36 months, with an option for a 24-month extension. The service is to be delivered in West Midlands, England, with procurement conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of health services, particularly those with expertise in social care or assistive technologies like wheelchairs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, benefiting from the chance to establish long-term contracts that may lead to further engagements with newly formed Integrated Care Boards as the health commissioning landscape evolves.

## Notice

The Solihull Wheelchair Service (SWS) has been run by Solihull Metropolitan Council (SMBC) for a number of years. In November 2019, the Council indicated that they wished to exit the provision of this service as soon as possible. As a consequence the CCG is now seeking to re-procure this service in order that a replacement for SMBC can be put in place. NHS Birmingham and Solihull CCG (referred to as the Commissioner) are therefore inviting suitably qualified and experienced providers to express interest in delivering the Service(s), by responding to this opportunity as required and described in this document, and within the published tender. NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) is acting as an agent for and on behalf of the Commissioner and is supporting the procurement process. The Procurement Process is described within the documentation published. Bidders should note that Clinical Commissioning Groups are currently in the process of being wound up and will shortly be replaced by Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). Dependent on the timing of this, it is possible that the successful contractor will need to enter into a contract with either the newly formed ICB, or to enter into a contract with the current CCG in the knowledge that the contract will be novated to the newly formed ICB in the near future. Please note that this contract shall initially be for a period of 36 months with an option to extend for a further 24 months at the sole discretion of the Commissioner. This procurement is being run in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the "Regulations"). The Service is being procured as "Schedule 3 - Social and Other Specific Services" and AGCSU is bound only by those parts of the Regulations applying to Schedule 3 services.
