## Notice

Chelsea Westminster NHS Trust's cheyne Child development service has a backlog of children on their clinic lists who require an Autism Diagnostic Assessment.

As such, we are seeking proposals from suitably qualified and experienced companies who can take on the outstanding assessments to assist with clearing the backlog. We are seeking a value for money, high quality service that will be responsive to the needs of the client. Robust contract management and good effective liaison with the service and key contacts will be required. Contracts will run until the backlog of assessments is completed.
