## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council has completed a procurement process for the "Autism & Neurodivergence Support" services contract, allocated to support individuals in the UKM84 region. The procurement falls under the category of general public services with a specific focus on health and social care services. The contract, valued at £85,000, was awarded on 11th June 2026 through a limited procurement method, bypassing the requirement for a competitive call for tenders as permitted by the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. This initiative aims to provide flexible, person-centred services through various supportive channels for autistic and neurodivergent individuals, enhancing their well-being and resilience.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialised in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in supporting neurodivergent communities. Organisations equipped to offer peer support, individual interventions, and group-based activities would find this contract beneficial for business growth. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like HOPE for Autism, which succeeded in securing this contract, exemplify how such tenders can facilitate meaningful engagement in community-focused service delivery, thus opening doors for SMEs to expand their outreach and impact.
