UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board intends to procure adult ADHD assessment, diagnosis and medication services. The requirement concerns specialist mental health provision, including psychiatrist or psychologist services, for adults with suspected or diagnosed ADHD. Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is managing the procurement on behalf of the ICB. Delivery is expected to support NHS services in London. The procurement is planned as one service lot, covering the full requirement rather than separate geographic or service packages. The stated purpose of the current exercise is to understand the market’s capability to deliver the required adult ADHD assessment, diagnostic and medication pathway. This is a healthcare services requirement for organisations able to provide clinically governed assessment, diagnosis and prescribing or medication-management support.

The process is at the planning and pre-market engagement stage; it is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to gather written market submissions by 21 August 2026, with engagement documents available through the Atamis project identified as C461997. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is expected to lead to a one-year contract from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027. A subsequent notice is expected on 31 October 2026. The recorded estimated procurement value is £0 gross. The lot is currently in planning, and the procurement description identifies market engagement as the immediate activity. The buyer has not yet set out tender evaluation criteria or a bid submission process; suppliers should use the engagement stage to explain their capability and relevant delivery model.

This engagement is relevant to providers of adult ADHD assessment and diagnostic services, psychiatrists, psychologists, specialist mental health organisations and NHS or independent healthcare providers with suitable clinical governance. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the single planned lot is explicitly marked as suitable for both SMEs and VCSE organisations. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate capability across adult ADHD assessment, diagnosis and medication provision, including access to appropriately qualified clinical staff and safe prescribing or medication-management arrangements. Experience delivering regulated healthcare services, working with NHS commissioners or trusts, and managing referral, assessment, clinical-record and follow-up pathways would be useful preparation. Organisations with a service model that can support London-based NHS demand should consider responding to the market engagement.
