## Summary

The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently seeking proposals for an "Autism Assessment Tender" aimed at addressing a backlog of 400 children requiring Autism Diagnostic Assessments through outsourcing. This procurement falls within the healthcare industry, classified under paediatric services, and is expected to result in contracts commencing from August 18, 2022, and lasting until the backlog is cleared, likely within a year. The tender process is classified as selective, and proposals must be submitted by April 30, 2022, with contract values ranging between £100,000 and £200,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in paediatric services, particularly those with experience in diagnostic assessments.

Small and medium enterprises may find this an advantageous venture, as the buying organisation is actively seeking qualified organisations to help improve service delivery in a critical area of public health.
