## Summary

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has announced the awarding of the "Physical Health Connector service" contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023. The contract aims to provide miscellaneous health services in the Birmingham region (UKG31) and includes £433,777 for services starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The decision, approved on 27th February 2025, proceeded without significant conflicts and is based on the supplier's proven track record under previous contracts. The standstill period for representations ended on 25th March 2025, and the formal award was issued post-standstill, marking the completion of this tender stage.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in health services to engage in meaningful contributions to integrating mental and physical healthcare. Providers experienced in delivering community-based healthcare programmes could especially benefit from this contract, as it focuses on supporting the physical health of patients with mental health conditions. The successful supplier, The Active Wellbeing Society, exemplifies the type of organisation that could thrive in this environment, given its substantial experience and large operational scale within the healthcare sector. Businesses looking to expand in the public health services domain will find this procurement process indicative of the standards and requirements necessary for future opportunities under the PSR.
