## Summary

The procurement process for the "West Midlands Learning Disabilities and Autism Specialist Community Forensic Service" is overseen by the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, located in Birmingham, UK. This contract modification notice pertains to the development of a criminal justice "arm" under a two-year pilot within the service. A contract, valued at GBP 1,781,014, has been awarded to the Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust. The modification, effective from 4 November 2025, includes additional funding of GBP 487,372 for expanding services. This procurement falls under the services category, focusing on miscellaneous health services, and is conducted under the Provider Selection Regime without the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provisions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in learning disabilities, autism, and forensic services. The potential for business growth is substantial in this industry, as services aim to embed trauma-informed practices and improve transitions from custody to community care. Businesses with capabilities in consultancy, crisis support, and intervention planning are well-suited to compete, particularly if they can provide multi-agency collaboration and continuity of care. The limited procurement method suggests the focus remains on contracting with the most suitable provider, highlighting a niche but impactful area for business expansion.
