Summary of the contracting process

East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust procured children and young people’s digital neurodevelopmental assessment services. The work covers assessments for children and young people across Norfolk, within the Norfolk region, and replaces an earlier contract for the same service with the same supplier. It is a healthcare services requirement, specifically paediatric services, delivered digitally. The buyer is based at Norwich Community Hospital and the awarded supplier, Healios Ltd, is based in London. The requirement sits within NHS healthcare provision and is intended to support the assessment of neurodevelopmental needs in children and young people. Its focus is therefore on specialist clinical assessment delivered through digital means, rather than general information technology, software supply or non-clinical consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded under the Health Care Services (PSR) Regulations 2023. East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust awarded the contract to Healios Ltd through the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s F097 Autism & ADHD framework, without competition or prior publication of a call for competition. The award was confirmed on 4 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract starts on 1 August 2026 for 12 months, with an optional six-month extension. Its total value is £191,980.40 including the stated contract value. Evaluation was based entirely on cost, as described in the framework agreement. One bid was recorded.

This award indicates established NHS demand in Norfolk for digitally delivered neurodevelopmental assessments for children and young people, with a specific focus on autism and ADHD-related assessment capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide clinically robust paediatric assessment services through a secure and effective digital delivery model, with the workforce, governance and operational capacity to serve a regional population. Experience of NHS healthcare delivery and of assessing children and young people would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand how to operate through an established healthcare framework and compete on cost where the framework’s evaluation approach is used. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that this scale of specialist service can be delivered by a focused provider.
