UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is leading the procurement process titled "HPFT ADHD Assessments" in the health services industry. Located in Hatfield, UK, this process addresses the backlog in ADHD assessments, particularly for children and young people (CYP). The procurement, conducted through a direct award method, is already concluded with the award made on 16th May 2025 and the contract is set to begin on 2nd June 2025, running through to 31st March 2026. The total value of this contract is £500,000, and the procurement falls under the services category, cementing its relevance to the central government public authority sector.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, especially those adept at handling ADHD assessment and management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on medical assessments could find this tender particularly advantageous due to suitability considerations. With increasing demand for mental health services, businesses that can efficiently manage and reduce delay times for ADHD assessments will be well-positioned to benefit from such government contracts. As the contract involves continuity of care for stabilised patients, businesses with experience in ongoing medication reviews and mental health support can particularly thrive through this initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

HPFT ADHD Assessments

Notice Description

Support of trust backlog with ADHD Assessments

Procurement Information

HPFT will not be able to transfer cases that have had an ADHD assessment, impacting their capacity to provide assessments to CYP (the waiting list is currently over 2,000 CYP). HertsOne has a caseload of 730 CYP who will need to be transferred to an alternative provision which does not exist. CYP who are stabilised on medication would not receive the ongoing medication reviews, resulting in safety risks. NHS services have not been able to meet growing demand, and primary care and mental health services have become overwhelmed with demand, leading to long waits and the need to restrict access to services to only the most severe cases.
