Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board intends to procure adult ADHD assessment and treatment services to clear a waiting-list backlog. The scope covers assessments, medication titration, continued prescribing and annual reviews for adults with ADHD. This is a healthcare service, classified under psychiatrist or psychologist services. Delivery is intended within London. The procurement is aimed at providers able to deliver the full pathway, from clinical assessment through medication management and ongoing annual review. It is being developed under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, rather than the standard public contracts regime. The buyer is the NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board, based in London, and the planned service concerns adult ADHD patients within its area.

This is a planned intention-to-award notice at the early market-engagement stage, not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish pre-market engagement documents on 7 August 2026 to test capability and capacity in the open market. The expected procurement route is the Provider Selection Regime 2023, although the process to be followed has not yet been determined. The planned contract has an estimated value of £1,700,000. The procurement is described as one lot covering adult ADHD assessments, titration, continued prescribing and annual reviews. A subsequent notice is expected on 31 October 2026. The buyer has identified the service need and intended scope, while market engagement will inform the next steps.

This will suit established NHS, independent-sector or specialist mental-health providers with the clinical capability to assess adults for ADHD and manage treatment safely over time. Relevant expertise includes psychiatric or psychological assessment, medication titration, continued prescribing, clinical monitoring and annual reviews. Providers should be able to manage a waiting-list backlog while maintaining safe, consistent pathways for assessment and ongoing care. Capacity is likely to be important, including sufficient qualified clinicians, prescribing arrangements, appointment availability and administrative support. Organisations preparing to respond should be ready to explain their experience delivering adult ADHD services, their approach to clinical governance and safeguarding, and how they can provide continuity between assessment, medication management and review. The forthcoming engagement is intended to explore these capabilities before the procurement route is settled.
