Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Wandsworth is procuring an ADHD Ambassadors Programme for mainstream schools across Wandsworth. This is a specialist education and welfare service for children and young people, focused on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and neurodevelopmental needs. The programme is intended to help schools strengthen their understanding of ADHD, develop more inclusive approaches and improve staff skills. Its wider purpose is to improve outcomes for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities throughout their school life. The requirement is delivered across Wandsworth schools and is bought by the London Borough of Wandsworth. The service sits within welfare services for children and young people, making it relevant to organisations with expertise in ADHD awareness, school inclusion, staff development and support for children and young people with SEND.

The procurement is complete and the council has selected Inspire-Me through a direct award without competition. It is a below-threshold service contract, with one lot and an intended award value of £39,727 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The award was recorded on 10 August 2026. The contract period is 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, with signature scheduled by 28 August 2026. The selected supplier is Inspire-Me, a large voluntary, community or social enterprise. The lot is identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was not competitive because the council used a below-threshold direct-award route without competition. The published outcome therefore records a selected supplier and a two-year service requirement rather than an invitation for further bids.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local need for practical ADHD expertise in mainstream schools, particularly where staff need to recognise neurodevelopmental needs and make teaching and support more inclusive. A credible future competitor would need experience translating ADHD knowledge into useful school-based guidance, ambassador or champion models, and staff development that can be applied across a wide number of pupils. Capability in SEND support, child and young people’s welfare, inclusive education and engagement with school staff would be relevant. Providers should be able to work consistently across Wandsworth schools and show that their approach can improve staff understanding and pupil outcomes over a sustained programme. The requirement was suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations with that status and a strong specialist delivery record are well placed when this type of service is next considered.
