Summary of the contracting process

Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an adult ADHD access pathway pilot, known as ADHD Primary Care Connect, for Brighton and Hove. The service supports a single, needs-led route into ADHD assessment, with triage intended to match people to the most appropriate provider according to the complexity of their needs. The wider aim is to improve equity, patient experience, waiting times and safety. This is a healthcare service delivered in Sussex, with the recorded delivery location at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s Portland House in Worthing. The work includes services provided by medical personnel and forms part of an integrated clinical pathway for adults seeking ADHD assessment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Brighton and Hove Primary Care Ltd. The contract was signed on 12 March 2026. The procurement data records one bid, with the lowest and highest valid bid both valued at £1,748,792; it does not state a separate awarded contract value or contract period. The route was a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using Direct Award A under the Provider Selection Regime 2023. This was justified as continuation of existing services in substantially the same form, with no material change to scope, service model or patient cohort. No comparative provider assessment was undertaken; the stated decision considered quality, patient safety, integration and value. The lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and signed contract are active.

For providers considering similar adult ADHD pathway work for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, this outcome shows that continuity and delivery within existing clinical pathways were central to the decision. The selected provider was the incumbent, and the Trust’s rationale says the service was delivering safe and effective care, supporting continuity and stability, working in an integrated way with its clinical pathways, and providing suitable capacity and value for ongoing demand. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would therefore need evidence of safe clinical delivery, reliable capacity for adult ADHD access and triage, and the ability to coordinate care with the Trust’s pathways while maintaining patient continuity. The stated model matches people to assessment providers according to complexity, so experience operating needs-led triage would also be relevant.
