## Summary

The procurement process, managed by the Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on the provision of eating disorder services for children and young people in Birmingham under the classification of miscellaneous health services. Governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, this process does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, employing a direct award method without prior publication of a competition call. The contract was intended for award to First Steps ED with a value of £87,594.50, covering the period from 1 July 2025 to 31 March 2027. Key dates include the confirmation on 12 February 2026 and the standstill period allowing representations by 24 February 2026.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in managing eating disorders. Although awarded to an existing provider, there remains potential for engagement through options to extend or through the broader landscape of health services procurement in the region. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality healthcare solutions and who maintain regular communication with the Trust can potentially leverage similar contracts. Large-scale suppliers with the capability to fulfil service criteria will find such contracts promising for diversification in the competitive healthcare sector in the UK.
