## Summary

NHS Mid and South Essex Integrated Care Board procured health services for the assessment and support of children and young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The service is intended to give patients a choice of providers able to deliver high-quality assessments, support and care in line with the agreement and relevant guidance. The work covers patients across Mid and South Essex. It includes psychiatrist or psychologist services and sits within the broader health services category. The requirement is for clinical providers experienced in assessing and supporting children and young people with ADHD and ASD under patient-choice arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded through Direct Award Process B under the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Private Therapy Clinic Limited was selected for the Children and Young People ADHD/ASD Services contract. The contract was signed on 23 March 2026 and is for 12 months from 6 July 2026. The notice states that activity is not guaranteed and gives a total contract value of £0.00; the contract record shows a value of £1 GBP. Evaluation used patient choice or the absence of a realistic alternative provider, with quality and cost each recorded as 100. The tender is marked complete.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand in Mid and South Essex for child and adolescent ADHD and ASD assessment and support delivered through patient choice. A credible future supplier would need clinical capability in these services, including appropriate psychiatrist or psychologist expertise, and the capacity to assess and support children and young people in accordance with the relevant healthcare guidance and service agreement. Providers should be able to offer consistently high-quality care while working within an NHS integrated care setting and supporting patient choice. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that delivery may be within reach of specialist smaller providers as well as larger healthcare organisations with suitable clinical capacity and governance.
