NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust in Cardiff, is the buying organisation responsible for this tender. The contract involves delivering neurodevelopmental diagnostic services to children and young people up to the age of 18 within the region of Cardiff and Vale Health Board, due to an increased demand for these services. A pre-market engagement session is scheduled for 3rd December 2024, with future notices anticipated on 4th December 2024. The total estimated contract value is £900,000, with an expectation to commence assessments no later than 4 weeks post-award and complete all assessments before the end of the 2024-2025 financial year. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in paediatric diagnostics, neurodevelopmental disorders, and digital health solutions. Companies capable of delivering ASD and ADHD assessments both virtually and face-to-face, staffed by clinically qualified professionals with safeguarding level 3 certification and enhanced DBS checks, will find this tender particularly suitable. The contract's requirements for flexible service delivery, adherence to NICE guidelines, and rigorous clinical governance means that businesses with a strong track record in these areas will be well-placed to compete and expand their service offerings within the public sector. ## Notice The Cardiff and Vale Health Board is responsible for the delivery of Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic services to children and young people up to the age of 18 years old. This is currently delivered by a multidisciplinary team through a mixed method delivery of face to face and virtual clinics.
