Bereavement counselling
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has announced a contract award for the provision of bereavement counselling services, classified under miscellaneous health services (CPV 85140000). This contract, awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 with a value of £40,763. The initial notice marked the start of a standstill period for representations until 25th March 2025.
The procurement method applied was a direct award process, and the formal award was confirmed without a prior call for competition. This project is situated in Birmingham, UK. This tender offers significant growth opportunities especially for businesses in the healthcare sector with expertise in bereavement counselling services.
Sole suppliers like Cruse Bereavement Support, already selected for their proven competence and ability to deliver under previous arrangements, are ideal candidates. Organisations that can demonstrate high-quality service provision, compliance with health regulations, and a commitment to mental health support in the Birmingham and Solihull areas stand to benefit substantially from engaging in this contract. The investment in specialized services highlights a strong demand and a stable business environment.
This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.
The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 25 March 2025 to gail.bloxham@nhs.net. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
The award decision was approved by BSMHFT MHPC Commissioning Committee on 3 March 2025. No conflicts were declared. Key criteria were presented and the current provider is able to demonstrate that they have delivered under their previous contractual arrangement and BSMHFT is confident that this delivery will continue under a new contract.
