## Summary

The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) has awarded a contract for the provision of early help mental health support under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £429,030 and classified under the miscellaneous health services industry category (CPV code 85140000), will operate from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The procurement process was conducted as a direct award without prior publication of a call for competition, and the publication of the intention to award notice commenced the standstill period during which representations must be made by 26 March 2025.

This procurement provides an avenue for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those offering mental health support resources for children and young people. Companies well-versed in delivering consistent and reliable mental health interventions stand to benefit significantly. The focus on early intervention services highlights an opportunity for providers to expand their market presence within the UK, specifically in the Birmingham and Solihull areas. Furthermore, with the option to extend the contract in 12-month intervals, businesses have the potential to secure long-term engagement and strategic growth.
