## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board is buying care home placements, classified as residential nursing care services. The placements are for its All Age Continuing Healthcare service. The work is delivered in the Birmingham and Solihull area. The requirement is for care home providers able to accommodate people needing continuing healthcare; the notice does not describe a defined volume of placements or guarantee activity. The selected provider is Springcare (Eastwood) Limited, based in Whitchurch. This is a healthcare service procurement under the Provider Selection Regime, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement has been awarded to Springcare (Eastwood) Limited, and the contract is active. NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB made the award through Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior call for competition. The award decision date is not stated. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026, with a stated service period from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its recorded contract value is £1; the notice says activity is not guaranteed and that value varies with activity delivered. Patient choice was the sole stated evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%; cost was weighted at 0%. One lot covered the care home placements.

For care home operators, this award shows that NHS Birmingham and Solihull ICB sources continuing healthcare placements through the Provider Selection Regime, including Direct Award Process B. A credible provider for a similar requirement would need to offer suitable residential nursing care and support patient choice, which was the decisive stated criterion. The contract carries no guaranteed volume, so providers would need to be able to accommodate variable demand without relying on a fixed placement commitment. Springcare (Eastwood) Limited, recorded as an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller provider can meet this buyer’s requirement. The opportunity is relevant to care homes able to serve people requiring continuing healthcare in the Birmingham and Solihull area.
