## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "AD HOC AUTISM SPECTRUM DIAGNOSTIC (ASD) ASSESSMENTS FOR CHILDREN" is conducted by Hywel Dda Local University Health Board, based in Carmarthen, Wales (region UKL14). This contracting procedure focuses on providing health and social work services under the industry classification of the same name (CPV: 85000000). The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract awarded to Healios Limited. The contract's duration spans 1440 days and was signed on 2nd December 2025. This process was governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 and is exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023. The procurement method employed here is not applicable under traditional regulations, demonstrating a tailored approach to healthcare service selection. The initial stage of this procurement was called for an open procedure, with submissions having closed on 8th August 2025.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in autism spectrum diagnostics. Service providers capable of conducting multidisciplinary assessments, as per NICE Guidelines, will find significant opportunities within this contract. As the demand for autism spectrum diagnostic assessment services for children rises exponentially, businesses that offer specialised health services, including clinical interviews and developmental assessments, will be well-positioned to tap into this need. Such engagements allow businesses to diversify their service offerings, and expand their client base, particularly within the public sector, thereby fostering business growth. Given the scale and duration of this tender, larger health service providers with the capability to meet high service demands and adhere to specific regulations will find this opportunity especially attractive.

## Notice

Due to exponential demand on services, HDUHB seeks to appoint suitable Provider(s) to support the Children's Neurodevelopmental Autism Spectrum Diagnostic (ASD) service to manage and reduce our waiting list in respect of diagnostic assessments.
