## Summary

NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board commissioned home-care support for people eligible for continuing healthcare (CHC). The service covers home-care placements for clients in Birmingham and Solihull. The requirement is for community health services delivered in people’s homes, rather than a general domiciliary-care service: placements are for clients who meet CHC eligibility requirements. The commissioning decision was made by the ICB’s All Age Continuing Healthcare Team. The contract is described as new and provides for home-care placements, with delivery dependent on activity. This is a local healthcare service requirement focused on supporting eligible clients at home.

The contract has been awarded to Care Plus Direct Limited through Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023; the notice states that the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its recorded contract value is £1, although the procurement terms state that there is no guaranteed activity and that value varies with the service delivered. The award assessment placed all weight on patient choice, with no weighting for cost. One bid was recorded. The release shows an active award and contract, while the sole lot is marked cancelled; the source gives no cancellation date or reason.

For providers considering comparable future work from this ICB, the relevant capability is delivering home-care placements for people eligible for continuing healthcare, including across Birmingham and Solihull. Credibility depends on being able to support individual client choice, since that was the sole stated award consideration; price carried no stated weight in this assessment. The activity-dependent arrangement also points to a need to accommodate variable placement volumes rather than rely on a guaranteed workload. The selected provider, Care Plus Direct Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was selected for this requirement. This award is a practical indicator of the buyer’s approach to this specific community-based CHC service, not evidence of demand for unrelated care services. Be prepared to demonstrate appropriate home-care delivery and responsiveness to client preferences.‌
