## Summary

The East London NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) for the ASD Waiting-List Reduction Support project. This contract, intended to address health service delivery, involved a value of £216,720 and was awarded directly due to its below-threshold classification, with no competition. The buying organisation is located in London, with the contract running from 1st January 2026 to 31st March 2026. Key suppliers include Healios Limited and London Early Autism Diagnosis (LEAD), who will conduct 60 and 100 ASD assessments respectively. The procurement stage is at present in ‘Award’ with confirmations finalised as of 5th December 2025.

This tender offers potential growth opportunities for businesses within the healthcare services sector, especially those specialising in diagnostic and assessment services for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Companies proficient in managing health service delivery and with the capacity to undertake large-scale assessments are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. This procurement process has opened avenues for suppliers like Healios Limited and LEAD to enhance their market presence and expand upon previous public sector engagements.
