## Summary

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured inpatient specialist child and adolescent mental health services to help manage winter pressures. The work is focused on supporting children and young people living in residential care who experience repeated emotional distress, crisis presentations or placement instability. The stated purpose is to strengthen their support and management. The service falls within psychiatric hospital services and broader health services. Delivery is associated with the West Midlands. Funding for the initiative was identified by Toucan, and the proposal was reviewed for whether commissioners could deliver it before a revised proposal was put forward. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust; the selected provider is Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. The contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. Its value is £491,390. The notice is titled as an urgent award under Regulation 14, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition; the stated rationale was extreme urgency. The proposal formed part of a successful bid in the Wave 2 funding round and was reviewed and approved by senior leadership to support winter pressures. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. Evaluation criteria identify price. The procurement data gives no contract end date or duration.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Birmingham Women’s and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, this award demonstrates demand for specialist inpatient child and adolescent mental health support focused on young people in residential care who experience recurring distress, crisis presentations or placement instability. A credible provider would need to show it can strengthen support and management for this group and respond to winter-pressure needs. The successful provider was a large NHS foundation trust, suggesting that relevant organisational capacity and experience delivering specialist mental health services are pertinent. The proposal was reviewed for possible delivery by commissioners, revised and approved by senior leadership. The route was an urgent award without a prior competition, so suppliers should note that this particular requirement was not awarded through an open tender.
