Description

Autism Assessment Service for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and pathway coordination for Children and Young People.
This is a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) notice to inform the market that NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB is directly awarding a 12 month contract, with the incumbent provider, Clinical Partners Ltd.
The contract award will start 1st April 2023 and expire 31st March 2024. 
The Provider has had a small historic contract with Knowsley place to manage a small number of children awaiting assessment, however during the COVID period there has been a significant increase in demand and backlog/waiting list and also as a result of the Joint Area SEND Inspection, Cheshire & Merseyside ICB has had to urgently address this significant waiting list to avoid any potential harm due to extended delays in assessments as part of a requested Written Statement of Action. 
This award without competition is to ensure service continuity whilst pending development of wider system approaches for provision of neurodevelopment assessment and co-ordination are developed.
