Summary of the contracting process

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board has extended its adult autism and ADHD assessment and treatment service to include autism assessments and ADHD assessment and treatment for children and young people. The work is delivered virtually for patients in Devon. It is a specialist mental health service, covering assessment and treatment rather than general healthcare. The extension adds these children’s services to Psychiatry UK Ltd’s existing contract for adult autism and ADHD provision. The contract also includes the established adult autism and ADHD services, so the procurement concerns a combined pathway across age groups, with the new children’s and young people’s provision delivered remotely. The buyer is NHS Devon Integrated Care Board.

The contract has been awarded to Psychiatry UK Ltd through a limited procedure without a prior competition, under the Provider Selection Regime and patient choice rules. NHS Devon’s decision was ratified by its Right to Choose Steering Group, which identified no conflicts of interest. One bid was recorded. The award adds children’s and young people’s autism assessments and ADHD assessment and treatment to the existing service; these services begin on 1 November 2026 and 1 January 2027 respectively. The relevant contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2028. The recorded contract value is £0.01, while the activity-based tariffs are £850 for a virtual children’s ADHD assessment, £1,250 for a virtual autism assessment and £400 for ADHD titration. Patient choice is stated as the evaluation basis.

For providers considering comparable future NHS Devon requirements, this award shows demand for specialist autism assessment and ADHD assessment and treatment, including provision for children and young people alongside adult services. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the clinical capability and capacity to deliver both assessment and treatment through a virtual-only service, and to operate within the NHS Devon service specification and activity-based tariff arrangements. Experience delivering autism and ADHD pathways across age groups, with the ability to manage assessment and ADHD titration, would be directly relevant. The selection route reflects patient choice under the Provider Selection Regime rather than a competitive tender in this instance. Providers should therefore be able to offer a service that supports patient choice while meeting the buyer’s clinical and operational requirements.
