Summary of the contracting process

The Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust is in the award stage of a procurement process for health services related to the provision of neurodevelopmental disorder assessments, specifically for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This process, structured as a mini-competitive procedure, leverages the SBS Framework to clear waiting list backlogs for children and young people in the Diggory Division, Milton Keynes, and the Goodhall Division, NW London. The process was governed by the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, distinct from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, valued approximately at over £2.3 million collectively, has been awarded with a focus on quality, price, and social value, with contracts expected to run for a period of five months starting 17th December 2025.

This procurement represents a tangible opportunity for businesses specialising in health services and mental health assessment services to engage with the NHS. Given the selective procurement method involving a competitive procedure with negotiation, companies well-versed with framework agreements and experienced in providing healthcare solutions, particularly those focused on mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders, are well-poised to leverage such contracts for business growth. Organisations like ICS Operations T/A Xyla Elective Care, Seven Care Services Ltd, and The Owl Centre Limited have been successful in this tender owing to their ability to deliver a range of services tailored to the NHS requirements. This highlights a lucrative avenue for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in health service delivery to engage in framework-driven projects, fostering both financial growth and public health advancements.
