## Summary

This procurement process details the contract award made by the NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board for domiciliary care services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR). The contract was awarded to River of Care Limited in Birmingham, within the industry category of community health services, with services expected to be delivered in the regions UKG31 and UKG32. The procurement followed a limited method without a prior call for competition, reflecting regulations under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) 2023. The contract, which runs from 10th September 2025 to 31st March 2027, is designated under the ID BSOL_River of Care Ltd_2025-26_IFPCHC and was officially signed on 18th September 2025.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses specialising in domiciliary and community health services. River of Care Limited, an SME based in Birmingham, successfully navigated this direct award process, suggesting that similar enterprises with a strong focus on quality and patient choice are well-positioned to engage in such opportunities. The absence of a guaranteed activity level in the contract leaves room for scalability depending on services rendered, which allows businesses to potentially increase their service delivery and reputation within the health care sector. As the procurement did not require a prior competition call, smaller or emerging service providers with agility and compliance capabilities might particularly benefit from engaging in such procurement processes.
