Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board commissioned an adult ADHD assessment service. The requirement is for the provision of assessments for adults with suspected or diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, delivered across Lancashire and South Cumbria. It is a healthcare service rather than a supply or construction contract, classified under health services. The commissioning organisation is based in Preston and is responsible for arranging and funding the service. The selected provider is Modality Limited Liability Partnership, an SME headquartered in Birmingham. The service is intended to support patient access to adult ADHD assessment within the NHS, with patient choice identified as the sole quality consideration in the award decision. The requirement covers one service lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. It used the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, specifically direct award process B, through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The award decision was made on 17 February 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. Modality Limited Liability Partnership received the award, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £1,554,408 over its lifetime, subject to activity plan decisions. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Evaluation placed 100% of the weighting on patient choice and 0% on price. The single lot is marked cancelled in the procurement record, although the award and contract are recorded as active.

This procurement indicates a defined NHS requirement for specialist adult ADHD assessment capacity across Lancashire and South Cumbria. A credible future provider would need to deliver adult ADHD assessments at healthcare-service scale, support patient choice and operate effectively within NHS commissioning arrangements. The award outcome shows that quality centred on patient choice, while price carried no weighting, so service design, accessibility, patient experience and clinical delivery would be central to competing for a comparable requirement. The selected supplier was an existing provider, indicating the importance of established delivery capability and familiarity with the local commissioning environment. Organisations already providing adult ADHD assessment services, or able to demonstrate equivalent NHS healthcare delivery experience, are the closest commercial comparators.
