Provision of mental health services and talking therapies
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision of mental health services and talking therapies. The contract covers health services for patients residing in Coventry and Warwickshire as well as talking therapies services in Solihull. This procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The procurement process was conducted using a direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is valued at £1,722,682, commencing on 1 April 2025 and concluding on 31 March 2026. Representations from providers had to be submitted by 25 March 2025.
This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in mental health services and therapy provision. The direct award procedure ensures the continuation of service delivery with the potential for contractual extensions, providing stability and growth prospects for capable providers. Companies with a proven record in delivering similar services, especially those experienced in working with NHS trusts, would be highly competitive in securing such contracts.
This procurement process demonstrates a strong commitment by Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust to maintaining quality healthcare services in the region.
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 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.
