The procurement is at the tender stage, with a deadline for electronic submissions set for 15th October 2025 at noon. The contract will initially cover a period of three years, with an option to extend for a further two years. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in healthcare services, particularly those with capabilities in neurodevelopmental assessments. Providers with experience in adhering to NICE guidelines and standards for ADHD and ASD are especially well-suited to compete, as the tender stresses the importance of using multidisciplinary approaches and validated diagnostic tools.
