## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned care home placements under its All Age Continuing Healthcare service. The requirement is for residential nursing care services for patients placed in care homes, delivered through the healthcare provider’s placement capacity rather than a construction, supply or general consultancy contract. The buying organisation is NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board. The requirement is specific to care home and residential nursing provision supporting people covered by the ICB’s continuing healthcare arrangements. It therefore suits care home operators and residential nursing providers with suitable accommodation, qualified care staff and the ability to place and support patients in line with individual needs and expressed preferences. The award is recorded against one care home placement lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Crosscrown Limited was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is scheduled to run from 21 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its published contract value is £1 GBP, but the arrangement carries no guarantee of activity and the value will vary according to placements delivered. The ICB used Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. Evaluation was based entirely on patient choice, weighted at 100%; cost carried 0%. The award is active. The tender record marks the associated lot as cancelled, while the supplier award and contract remain active.

This award demonstrates continuing demand from NHS Birmingham and Solihull for residential nursing and care home placements arranged through the ICB’s continuing healthcare service. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable care home facilities, provide residential nursing care and manage placements safely for patients with differing needs. The evaluation gives overriding importance to patient choice, so providers should be able to offer clear, appropriate placement options and demonstrate how patients’ preferences are respected. Providers also need capacity that can flex with actual placement activity rather than relying on a fixed volume. Understanding the Provider Selection Regime and its direct-award routes would help organisations position themselves for this buyer’s requirements when the arrangement is reconsidered.
