Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust is in the process of procuring special care dentistry services for adult secure mental health inpatients under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This procurement falls under the health services category and the location for the services is Birmingham, United Kingdom.

The contract, valued at £114,567 and worth £112,156 for the latest award, will commence on 1 April 2025 and will end on 31 March 2026, having been formally awarded without a call for competition. Providers had until 25 March 2025 to make representations to the decision makers at BSMHFT.

The procurement is particularly suitable for organisations capable of delivering consistent, high-quality care and those with a proven track record under previous contractual arrangements with BSMHFT. The Provider Selection Regime allows for direct award processes, making it a beneficial avenue for large healthcare providers like the Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Trust that can meet the specific requirements and maintain service delivery standards.
