NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (ICB) has modified an existing contract with Bondcare (Bromford) Limited for residential nursing care services, specifically for short-term care home placements under pathway 2 for patients being discharged from hospital. The procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, which began on 1st April 2024 and is set to end on 31st March 2025, has been modified due to increased patient activity and a rise in the need for enhanced observations.

The contract's value has increased from £1,501,714 to £2,748,512, and the modification was effective from 1st November 2024. This procurement creates substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in residential nursing care services. The increased demand for enhanced patient care may prompt other providers to seek similar contracts or expand service offerings to meet such needs.

Large-scale providers with expertise in managing complex patient cohorts and delivering high-quality, short-term care solutions would be well-suited to compete in this space. Given that the award process involved rigorous criteria, including quality, value, collaboration, and social value, businesses with strengths in these areas have a promising opportunity to grow and secure future contracts within the ICB.
