This is an updated UK6 Contract Award Notice, issued further to the original notice published on 30th March 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-029290),
A Competitive Process under The Procurement Act Regulations 2023 was conducted with the aim of awarding one contract for a new service for Herefordshire and Worcestershire for a 3-year period with the option to extend for a further 2-years subject to mutual agreement. The ICB's new Neurodivergence Support Service for Children, Young People (age 0-25 years) and their Families will aim to understand service users' unique circumstances, strengths and challenges, and develop strategies that will enhance and improve day to day living for all. This service will be independent of the local Autism and ADHD diagnostic services; however, it will wrap around the core assessment pathway, providing a wide range of advice, information, support and other activities in environments that help people to feel safe and part of a wider network. As the service will hold specialist expertise in supporting neurodivergent children, young people and their families, it is expected to play a key role in working with the Autism and ADHD diagnostic service and other key organisations, to support system-wide understanding of neurodivergent conditions and drive implementation of best-practice strategies that will enhance and improve day to day living for all.
The contract term is three (3) years, with the option to extend for two (2) years subject to mutual agreement.
The contract is due to formally commence on 1st August 2026. The service mobilisation period will take place between 11th May and 31st July 2026. There is no existing service, therefore there is no expiry date of any current contract, and there are no TUPE implications.
The total cost to the ICB is £2,543,999.81 excluding VAT for the 3-year contract period including the optional extension period of 2-years. This is in line with the ICB's total affordability threshold of £3,000,000.00 for this procurement exercise.
VAT is not applicable to this contract.
