Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board, assisted by the NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, has awarded a contract for a Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service. This contract, with a focus on delivering services to both male and female victims of domestic violence across Birmingham and Solihull, was awarded through an open procedure under the Light Touch regime. The contract is set to commence on 1st November 2025 and will run through to 31st March 2028, with the option for a further extension of up to two years.
The procurement falls under the services category, with a total contract value of £1,766,667 GBP, and aligns with health services under industry classifications. The award has reached the contract stage, having been completed as of 3rd September 2025. The successful supplier identified for this service is Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid, and it will ensure all geographical areas within the footprint have equal service provision.
This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations involved in healthcare and social service delivery, particularly those specialising in domestic violence and abuse support. Businesses that are equipped to handle sensitive health services and have experience in similar areas would find this contract promising for strategic growth. Stakeholders can benefit from engaging with the NHS Integrated Care Board in potential partnerships or supporting roles, thereby expanding their footprint in the care services industry.
The openness to supporting both men and women and addressing geographical service inequality brings additional prospects for innovative service delivery models that can enhance coverage and access, further contributing to the business expansion and capacity development in healthcare service delivery.
NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU on behalf of NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board (BSol ICB) intend to commission a Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service that is open to all victims or potential victims (both female and male) of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) across the BSol ICB footprint that are aged 16 and over. The new service will therefore need to: - Ensure all geographies across the Birmingham and Solihull footprint have equal service provision - Ensure all citizens have equality of access, enabling men to access the service as well as women - Ensure that any required referral pathways are well thought through and do not introduce potential barriers to access whether these are perceived or real. Patients aged under 16 years witnessing or experiencing DVA should be managed by the practice in accordance with BSol ICB Safeguarding Children procedures.
Patients who have disclosed past or present domestic abuse will be referred by participating general practice staff. In some circumstances they may also refer patients where domestic abuse is suspected. As a result of this above threshold open procedure (Light Touch) process, a Contract will be awarded to the successful Provider for a period of 29 months years (1st November 2025 to 31st March 2028), with the Commissioner having the option to extend the contract for up to a further 24 months.
This notice is an intention to award a contract under the above threshold open procedure (Light Touch) process. The Primary Care Domestic Violence and Abuse Service is a new service. The successful provider identified is an existing provider.
The Commissioners may opt to extend the Contract Term twice by up to 2 years.
