Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust commissioned autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments, categorised as health services. The work relates to assessments for the Trust’s service users and is associated with Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate service areas. This is a specialist clinical service for providers able to assess people for autism; it is not a general health-services contract. The selected provider, Shropshire Autism Service Ltd, is based in Shrewsbury. The procurement title refers to the 2026/27 service year, although no delivery locations beyond the Shropshire area are described.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Shropshire Autism Service Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 19 October 2026. Its value is £117,000. The award notice describes an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award C procedure, with a standstill period ending on 31 October 2026; it says the contract would be entered into after that, subject to completion of documentation. The route was a limited award without prior publication of a competition, justified as a repetition of existing services. One bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion. The single lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This award demonstrates demand from Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust for autism assessment services, delivered through a specialist local provider and procured as a repeat of existing services rather than through an advertised competition. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would need credible clinical expertise in ASD assessment and the capacity to provide the service in the Shropshire area. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; the data does not establish that a particular business size is required. Price was the recorded award criterion, so a future competitor would need a commercially competitive offer as well as the clinical capability to meet the Trust’s assessment needs. No specific qualifications or accreditations are stated.
