## Summary

The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group is seeking to re-procure the Solihull Wheelchair Service, which has been historically provided by Solihull Metropolitan Council. This procurement process, classified under health services, is currently at the tender stage and aims to replace the existing service by securing a contract with a suitable provider. The deadline for submitting bids has been extended to 23rd March 2022. The contract value is set at £3,050,000, with a maximum duration of 60 months, including a potential 24-month extension.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those involved in wheelchair provision and maintenance. Companies with experience in delivering such services, including those that cater to individuals with mobility needs, are well-positioned to compete. Additionally, bidders may find growth potential by offering ancillary services related to the additional areas specified by the Commissioner, ensuring a comprehensive service delivery aligned with future public consultation outcomes.

## 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.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

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. 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. Additional information: Bidders should note that the maximum contract length shall be sixty (60) months. This includes an initial period of thirty-six (36) months and an option to extend for a further twenty-four (24) months at the sole discretion of the Commissioner.
