Notice Description
Autism Assessment Service for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and pathway coordination for Children and Young People.

The contract award will start 1st April 2023 and expire 31st March 2024. The Provider has had a small historic contract with Knowsley place to manage a small number of children awaiting assessment, however during the COVID period there has been a significant increase in demand and backlog/waiting list and also as a result of the Joint Area SEND Inspection, Cheshire & Merseyside ICB has had to urgently address this significant waiting list to avoid any potential harm due to extended delays in assessments as part of a requested Written Statement of Action. This award without competition is to ensure service continuity whilst pending development of wider system approaches for provision of neurodevelopment assessment and co-ordination are developed.
