## Summary

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust recently concluded a public procurement process titled "Paediatric autism assessment capacity," focused within the paediatric services industry. The process aimed to enhance the diagnostic services for children requiring assessment for ASD or ADHD in the Colchester, Halstead, and Tendring areas of North East Essex. The procurement method employed was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, resulting in a contract valued at £387,360. Key dates for this process included the tender period ending on 1st July 2024 and the contract period beginning on 8th July 2024 and ending on 23rd March 2025. The recipient of the contract was Pertemps Medical Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the medical and diagnostic services industry, particularly those specialising in paediatric care and neurodiverse condition assessments. Firms with expertise in providing diagnostic services for children and the ability to meet the standards set by NHS trusts can benefit from such contracts by expanding their market presence and demonstrating their capabilities in public health sectors. While this specific tender did not favour small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), similar opportunities may arise in future procurements that are more inclusive to these types of businesses.
