Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for ADHD Services for Adults, managed by NHS Thames Valley Integrated Care Board (ICB), has reached the award stage with a contract awarded to Ciconia Recovery Ltd. The procurement is classified under miscellaneous health services, tailored for delivery within the UK region of UKJ1. The procurement was executed as a direct award under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, specifically through Direct Award Process B, bypassing the need for a competitive tender. The contract started on 1st April 2026, and will initially span 24 months, with provisions for two potential extensions of 12 months each. The process focussed on ensuring the continuity, capacity, quality, and availability of services without engaging Public Contracts Regulations 2015 provisions.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in adult ADHD treatment. Companies like Ciconia Recovery Ltd, which caters to healthcare needs and has been identified as capable of delivering targeted services, are particularly well-positioned. The contract's structure supports providers focusing on customised care, given the cost-per-case payment system underpinning the financial arrangements. Businesses that can leverage existing clinical pathways to enhance patient choice stand to benefit significantly, as this highlights a key selection criterion by the NHS Thames Valley ICB. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with scalable solutions and a focus on bespoke ADHD services are likely to find growth opportunities within the described framework.

The decision considered service continuity, capacity, quality, and patient choice. Patient choice is supported through existing referral pathways, enabling patients to access alternative providers where available and clinically appropriate. This contract forms part of a wider system of ADHD service provision and does not restrict patient choice. For the avoidance of doubt, no competitive procurement or tender process was required to be undertaken. The decision to award this contract was made in accordance with the ICB's internal governance processes. No conflicts of interest were identified, or any identified conflicts were appropriately managed in line with organisational policies.
