Provision of respite services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
BIRMINGHAM & SOLIHULL MENTAL HEALTH NHS FOUNDATION TRUST, based in Birmingham, UK, has initiated a contracting process for the provision of respite services within the miscellaneous health services category. The procurement is conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and excludes the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Currently, the procurement is in the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, and an estimated lifetime value of £1,405,431.
Key decision-making dates include the standstill period concluding on 26th March 2025, facilitated by contact with Gail Bloxham. The procurement method used is a direct award procedure. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in providing health respite services.
Suitable contenders include established organisations capable of delivering quality services as mandated by the Health Care Services regulations. Firms with previous successful delivery in similar contracts, like the existing provider, Servol, are particularly well-suited. The contract’s substantial value and extended duration promise long-term engagement and financial stability, encouraging businesses with the relevant expertise and infrastructure to compete for this valuable public sector opportunity.
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 26 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.
