Relationship counselling
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust has initiated a tender process for relationship counselling services under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) regulations 2023. This procurement falls within the industry category of miscellaneous health services and is classified under CPV code 85140000. The contract will be delivered within the region of Birmingham, UK.
The tender stage has passed, and the intention to award was published, indicating a standstill period with representations due by 26 March 2025. The contract was formally awarded on 13 March 2025, and the services are set to commence on 1 April 2025, ending on 31 March 2026, with a total value of £14,433. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for those in the healthcare service sector, particularly businesses specialising in counselling and therapy services.
The procurement method involved a direct award process without prior publication, making it desirable for organisations that can demonstrate capability and previous delivery success. Since the trust is confident in the current provider's performance based on established contractual arrangements, similar businesses adept at delivering high-quality patient care and relationship counselling will be well-positioned to compete for such tenders in the future.
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.
