## Summary

The Solent NHS Trust has recently awarded a contract for the provision of a Children's Autism Spectrum Assessment and Diagnostic Service under the Light Touch Regime. The contract, with a value of £433,540 GBP, started in January 2024 and will continue until the backlog of assessments is completed. The procurement stage was an open procedure below the threshold, with the tender period closing on November 8, 2023. The Trust, based in Southampton, United Kingdom, outsources these assessments to reduce waiting times, making it suitable for companies experienced in health services and paediatric services within the region.

This tender by Solent NHS Trust presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and paediatric services to contribute to reducing the backlog of Autism Diagnostic Assessments. Companies that are well-suited to compete in this procurement process are those with expertise in providing children's health services, particularly in the assessment and diagnostic field. Given the contract's focus on clearing the existing clinic lists and implementing a new diagnostic process, businesses with experience in managing such services efficiently are likely to find this opportunity aligned with their capabilities and growth objectives.

## Notice

Solent NHS Trust has concluded the procurement for the provision of a Children's Autism Spectrum Assessment and Diagnostic Service under the Light Touch Regime. The Trust has a backlog of children on their clinic lists who require an Autism Diagnostic Assessment and will outsource most of these patients to the successful provider in an effort to reduce the waiting times for an assessment and to enable the implementation of a new diagnostic process. As such, the Trust has sought proposals from suitably qualified and experienced companies who can take on the outstanding assessments to assist with clearing the backlog. The contract is from January 2024 and will run until the backlog of assessments is completed. It is expected that the contract term will be 6 months.
