## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board is planning a procurement process for the provision of the CYP Autism and ADHD assessment service in Sheffield. The process is in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for 28th March 2024. The service falls under the Health services category and is located in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Humber. Potential providers are invited to express interest, submit necessary information, and participate in a market engagement event to review submissions and discuss future options.

This tender offers an opportunity for service providers in the healthcare industry, specifically those capable of delivering autism and ADHD assessments for children and young people in Sheffield. Businesses with experience in providing similar services, complying with NICE guidelines, and offering a range of assessment formats are well-suited to compete. The procurement method involves potential further outsourcing and engagement with South Yorkshire ICB, providing a platform for interested organisations to express their interest and potentially engage in a competitive procurement process.

## Notice

Sheffield Children and Young People's Autism and ADHD assessment service - request for additional capacity Prior Information Notice (PIN) Following a significant increase in demand and length of waiting list for autism and ADHD assessments for children and young people (up to the age of 16) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire ICB (Sheffield Place) are looking to outsource some of this activity to more providers in order to help increase capacity and meet some of this additional demand. You are invited to submit an expression of interest if you would like to be considered as a provider to deliver any of this activity. The current service is delivered by Sheffield Children's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and this contract will remain in place. We are looking for additional providers to deliver up to 300 assessments per month over a timescale to be agreed. To register your interest, please submit the following information: * What is your current waiting time for assessment? * What capacity are you able to provide (i.e. how many assessments over what period)? * What format do your assessments take - e.g. in person, online, combination of both, how long are they? * If your assessments are in person, please state the location where the assessments take place. * Do you assess for autism and ADHD together or separately? * Which professional group(s) undertake your assessments? E.g. paediatricians, speech and language therapists, psychologists etc.? * Are your assessments compliant with NICE guidelines? * What are your referral/access/exclusion criteria? E.g. do you need certain information/pre-assessments in order to accept referrals? Do you only assess certain age groups? * Do you provide any ongoing follow up or support to children and families following diagnosis? * Do you accept right to choose referrals or just private? * Would you consider outsourcing further assessments? Additional information: Following receipt of expressions of interest, South Yorkshire ICB Sheffield Place will hold a market engagement event with interested providers and relevant stakeholders to review submissions and discuss potential future options which will support in the service specification development. Following the event, if the decision to go out to formal procurement is made, this will be published on the Atamis Procurement portal in April 2024. The financial envelope will also be published at this time.
