Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council is commissioning an adult neurodiversity pre- and post-diagnostic support pilot in North Lincolnshire. The service is for adults who have, or believe they may have, a neurodevelopmental condition such as autism or ADHD, whether or not they have received a formal assessment. It will provide an easily accessible support network and early intervention through high-quality peer support. The intended outcomes include reducing loneliness and social isolation, improving confidence, wellbeing and resilience, supporting independence and daily living, and improving access to information, advice, guidance and community resources. The service should also help adults manage presenting needs, influence local services and systems, and promote strengths-based approaches while reducing longer-term dependence on wider services. This is a public-sector service opportunity in guidance and community support.

The procurement has reached tender: North Lincolnshire Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract, with electronic submission allowed. Potential suppliers could send enquiries until 14 August 2026 at 12:00, and the bid deadline set by the council is 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The gross estimated value is £73,200. Bids will be evaluated on 60% quality and 40% price. The opportunity is classified under CPV 85312310, guidance services. The service is intended for delivery in North Lincolnshire, and the procurement is below the applicable threshold. The contract is a pilot focused on support before and after diagnosis rather than diagnostic assessment itself.

This opportunity suits organisations able to design and deliver accessible, person-centred support for neurodiverse adults, particularly people with autism or ADHD at different points before or after formal assessment. Strong candidates will be able to provide peer support, early intervention, and practical information, advice and guidance, while helping service users build coping strategies, confidence, resilience and independence. Relevant experience in reducing isolation, connecting people with community resources, supporting transitions and working with local services will be useful. The service also calls for a strengths-based approach and the ability to demonstrate positive effects on wellbeing, social inclusion and participation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist charities, community organisations and experienced support providers.
