## Summary

The NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board (MSE ICB) has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Children and Young People ADHD/Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) services. This process falls under the Healthcare Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023, specifically using the Direct Award Process B. The contract, awarded to Community Assessment Therapy Services Ltd (CATS), involves delivering these services with no guaranteed level of activity, meaning the contract value will vary based on the actual services delivered. The services are set to be provided from the 1st of March 2026 through the 28th of February 2027 in Essex, located within the UKH3 region. This procurement process follows a limited method where no prior publication of a call for competition was required due to it being outside the scope of certain procurement directives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for providers in the healthcare services industry, especially those offering specialised psychiatric or psychological services. Businesses with expertise in delivering patient choice-oriented services for ADHD and ASD, particularly tailored for children and young people, stand to benefit. Engaging in this contract can enhance a provider's visibility and credibility within the NHS, potentially leading to further opportunities. The tender method, which bypasses traditional competitive bidding processes, suggests that well-positioned local or specialised service providers with a proven track record in similar healthcare delivery can expect to thrive in these roles, driving business growth in a stable and structured healthcare environment.
