## Summary

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has issued an update regarding the provision of counselling services. This procurement falls under the miscellaneous health services category (CPV 85140000) and is conducted within the United Kingdom. The contract, spanning from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025, has been awarded as part of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Key dates include the award decision approval on 3 March 2025 and the standstill period, allowing representations by providers until 25 March 2025. The total contract value is notably minimal, set at £0.01.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those experienced in providing counselling. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations alike can benefit from this contract by expanding their service offerings and gaining a foothold in the public healthcare sector. Given the limited prior competition and the direct award process utilised, businesses well-acquainted with the regulatory environment under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 will be particularly well-suited to compete effectively.
