Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board arranged adult ADHD non-clinical support in St Helens for patients registered with St Helens GPs. The service provides individual and group sessions to help adults with ADHD understand and manage their condition. This is a healthcare service rather than clinical diagnosis or treatment, and would suit providers delivering structured community-based support for adults with ADHD. The work is delivered in St Helens, within the Cheshire and Merseyside NHS area. The named incumbent supplier is Liverpool Adult ADHD – Ladders of Life Ltd, a Liverpool-based SME. The requirement covers the full adult ADHD support service rather than separate goods, construction or general consultancy.

The process is recorded at award stage under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, using a direct award to the incumbent without a prior competition. The award decision was approved on 19 May 2026, and the contract was signed that day. Liverpool Adult ADHD – Ladders of Life Ltd is recorded as the active award supplier. The contract value is £175,000 for two years, with an annual value of £87,500; the contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. The decision was assessed equally on social value, improving access and reducing health inequalities, value, integration and service sustainability, and quality and innovation, each weighted at 20%. One bid was recorded.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for dedicated, non-clinical adult ADHD support in St Helens, delivered through both individual and group sessions. A credible future competitor would need practical experience helping adults understand and manage ADHD, with the ability to provide consistent support to patients registered with local GPs. The evaluation gives equal importance to social value, access, health inequalities, patient choice, value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability, quality and innovation. Providers should therefore be able to show more than subject knowledge: they would need a sustainable service model, effective collaboration with NHS and community partners, and measurable benefits for local patients. A small or specialist provider could be relevant if it can demonstrate reliable delivery capacity and strong local health and community links.
