## Summary

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured an urgent Tier 4 inpatient admission for a child or young person receiving specialised Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The requirement was for psychiatric hospital care close to the patient’s current address, which was outside the Trust’s commissioning region. The recorded delivery location is the East Midlands. This is a highly specialised hospital service, rather than general mental health support or community-based care. The procurement was framed as a single requirement for an admission; the published description does not define a broader service package or additional deliverables.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. The award is dated 11 September 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. Its value is £292,755. The procedure was a limited urgent award without prior publication of a competition. The stated rationale was extreme urgency, alongside the claim that technical reasons meant only a particular provider could deliver the service. The Trust said the patient required immediate hospital admission close to their current address, outside its commissioning region. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the associated award is active and the contract is active.

For providers of specialist inpatient CAMHS, this award shows demand for rapid access to Tier 4 hospital admission when a patient needs care near their home and the appropriate service lies outside the commissioning organisation’s region. A credible provider would need to deliver specialised psychiatric hospital care for children and young people, support urgent admissions and be able to meet a location-sensitive placement requirement. The route used here relied on urgency and a technical-reasons justification rather than open competition, with price identified as the award criterion. This outcome therefore shows that proximity and the ability to admit promptly can be central to a placement, alongside the ability to provide the required specialist care. It is directly relevant to organisations operating suitable inpatient CAMHS services.
