## Summary

The NHS South Yorkshire ICB is planning a tender for the provision of autism and ADHD assessment services. The contracting process is in the planning stage, and interested providers need to register their interest by noon on Thursday 28th March. The service will be based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, and aims to outsource up to 300 assessments per month. The main procurement category is services within the health industry.

This tender by NHS South Yorkshire ICB offers an opportunity for providers in the health services sector to expand their business by delivering autism and ADHD assessments. Businesses with experience in paediatric healthcare, psychology, and related fields may find this tender particularly suitable. By registering their interest before the deadline, providers can potentially engage in future market engagement events to discuss service specifications and secure contracts.

## Notice

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?
