Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "HPFT ADHD Assessments" was initiated by the Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, located in Hatfield, UK. This process addresses a critical backlog of ADHD assessments, impacting their service capacity. The procurement is categorised under health services and is situated in the UKH region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, with the most recent contract being signed on 2nd June 2025. The procurement method was a direct award, underlining the urgency to address the growing demand for ADHD assessments within the healthcare system.

This contract presents several opportunities for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in healthcare services, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can handle specific healthcare-related challenges. The involvement of HertsOne, a supplier that has been subcontracted to address the caseload, illustrates the demand for experienced suppliers who can provide efficient healthcare solutions under pressing conditions. Businesses with the capability to deliver complex health services rapidly and effectively will find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar future procurement opportunities within the public health sector.

Notice Title

HPFT ADHD Assessments

Notice Description

Backlog of 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.
