## Summary

Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 for the provision of community perinatal peer support workers, classified under miscellaneous health services (CPV code 85140000). The contract was formally awarded on 12 March 2025, following the decision by the BSMHFT Sustainability Board on 27 February 2025. The contract services will commence on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2026, with a total value of £108,497. This contract was procured using a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in providing peer support workers. The contract, awarded to Acacia Family Support, demonstrates the need for reliable partners capable of delivering under previous contractual arrangements. Businesses with a strong track record in community-based health support, especially those focusing on maternal and perinatal care, would be well-suited to explore similar future opportunities within the Birmingham and Solihull region.
