## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned residential nursing and dementia care home services in Solihull. The requirement was for block and spot purchase dementia care home beds for Pathway 2 discharge clients: patients medically fit to leave hospital who need care before returning home or moving to longer-term support. The additional capacity was intended to improve hospital flow and support patients requiring hospital admission. The service falls within residential nursing care services and covers care home beds, including placements where special observation may be needed. It is a healthcare service commissioned by the Integrated Care Board’s urgent and emergency care team, with delivery focused on supporting hospital discharge and safe, appropriate care for people living with dementia.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to Restful Homes (Solihull) Ltd under the urgent circumstances provision of the Provider Selection Regime and the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed and started on 29 July 2026, running to 28 July 2027 inclusive. Its value is £1,598,909 including the variable requirement for special observation and spot purchase placements; the estimated lifetime range was £482,321 to £1,598,909. One bid was recorded. The award decision gave 100% weighting to addressing immediate risks to safety and quality of care, with no cost weighting.

This award indicates demand for care home capacity able to receive people with dementia from hospital through Pathway 2 discharge arrangements. A credible future competitor would need an operating care home service with suitable dementia beds in or able to serve Solihull, and the ability to accept both planned block placements and variable spot purchases. Providers should be able to manage patients transitioning from hospital, support safe discharge, and maintain care quality where immediate safety risks are central to the commissioning decision. Capacity for additional observation requirements is commercially relevant, as is the operational resilience to respond when hospital flow is under pressure. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist care provider can participate in this type of requirement.
