Choice in Neurodiversity (ASD and ADHD) Services for Children, Young People and Adults

NHS West Yorkshire has modified their contract for "Choice in Neurodiversity (ASD and ADHD) Services for Children, Young People and Adults." The contract modification, under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, extends the contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st December 2025. The initial decision was agreed upon at the Calderdale Senior Leadership meeting on 9th September 2024.

The contract is nil value activity-based with an estimated total annual spend ranging from £0 to £5 million across all contracted providers. The service category is community health services, with the delivery region specified as UKE4 (West Yorkshire). The procurement stage currently is at the award update and contract update phase.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, especially those providing specialised healthcare services for neurodiversity including ASD and ADHD. Companies with expertise in community health services and experience in delivering tailored care for children, young people, and adults will find this tender particularly lucrative. SMEs, like the current supplier Oakdale Group, could leverage their niche capabilities to secure a portion of the estimated £0-£5 million annual spend, thereby enhancing their market presence and contributing to the healthcare support framework in the West Yorkshire region.
