Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "BSOL_Linden Care Homes Limited_2025-26_IFPCHC," falling under the category of Residential Nursing Care Services. This contract, awarded to Linden Care Homes Limited, is designated for care home placements for clients eligible for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) within the region of UKG24, encompassing areas around Tamworth in the United Kingdom (UKG24). Unlike the typical processes governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, this award was facilitated through a direct award method classified under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023.
The contract commenced on 9th September 2025 and will run until 31st March 2027, with stipulated delivery requirements yet to be defined. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services, specifically those providing residential nursing care. Organisations with capabilities in the managed care home sector stand to benefit from the tailored requirements aiming to accommodate CHC-eligible clients.
The contract's focus on quality through patient choice as the principal award criterion (100% weightage) in place of cost implies a premium on service excellence over price competition. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Linden Care Homes Limited, particularly those already established within the UK healthcare service markets, could find substantial growth potential by aligning with such public sector contracts adhering to specific national regulations. The direct award approach further underscores the importance of established relationships and reputation in procuring such contracts without formal competitive tendering processes.
"The service provided under this notice will be for care home placements. This contract award has been made following Direct Award Process B under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) do not apply. The contract is awarded with no guarantee of activity. The value will vary dependent on the activity delivered. This is a new contract. The contract will run from 9th September 2025 to 31st March 2027."
