Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board is undertaking a procurement process to provide a Neurodivergence Support Service for Children, Young People, and their Families, spanning Herefordshire and Worcestershire, United Kingdom. This procurement, conducted under the open procedure method, aims to deliver a 3-year contract starting 1st August 2026, with the possibility of a 2-year extension. The service seeks to provide comprehensive support, advice, and activities that complement Autism and ADHD diagnostic services. Subcontracting is anticipated with entities like Anna Freud Centre and Bromsgrove Youth and Community Hub involved. The procurement involves a light touch regime under the Procurement Act Regulations 2023. The process, facilitated by NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit, closed in early 2026, with final contracts set to initiate with a mobilisation phase between 11th May and 31st July 2026.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social work industries, particularly those with expertise in handling neurodivergent conditions. Organisations offering innovative support services and possessing the capability for integration and collaboration are well-suited to engage, as the contract places weight on quality and innovation as well as service sustainability. With a total contract value up to £3,000,000, including cost recoverable VAT considerations, businesses specialising in social value and improving access can greatly benefit. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate in this comprehensive tendering exercise, promising growth through collaborative ventures with prominent entities such as NHS Midlands and Lancashire Commissioning Support Unit.

Notice Title

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) Procurement of a Neurodivergence Support Service for Children, Young People (age 0-25 years) and their Families

Notice Description

This is an updated UK6 Contract Award Notice, issued further to the original notice published on 30th March 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-029290), A Competitive Process under The Procurement Act Regulations 2023 was conducted with the aim of awarding one contract for a new service for Herefordshire and Worcestershire for a 3-year period with the option to extend for a further 2-years subject to mutual agreement. The ICB's new Neurodivergence Support Service for Children, Young People (age 0-25 years) and their Families will aim to understand service users' unique circumstances, strengths and challenges, and develop strategies that will enhance and improve day to day living for all. This service will be independent of the local Autism and ADHD diagnostic services; however, it will wrap around the core assessment pathway, providing a wide range of advice, information, support and other activities in environments that help people to feel safe and part of a wider network. As the service will hold specialist expertise in supporting neurodivergent children, young people and their families, it is expected to play a key role in working with the Autism and ADHD diagnostic service and other key organisations, to support system-wide understanding of neurodivergent conditions and drive implementation of best-practice strategies that will enhance and improve day to day living for all. The contract term is three (3) years, with the option to extend for two (2) years subject to mutual agreement. The contract is due to formally commence on 1st August 2026. The service mobilisation period will take place between 11th May and 31st July 2026. There is no existing service, therefore there is no expiry date of any current contract, and there are no TUPE implications. The total cost to the ICB is PS2,543,999.81 excluding VAT for the 3-year contract period including the optional extension period of 2-years. This is in line with the ICB's total affordability threshold of PS3,000,000.00 for this procurement exercise. VAT is not applicable to this contract.
