Children and Young People and Adult ASD and ADHD services

Description

This prior information notice is seeking to gather information in relation to Children and Young People and Adult ASD and ADHD services. Lot 1: In the near future, SNEE ICB intend to release to the market an opportunity to join an accredited provider framework for provision of CYP and Adult ASD and ADHD services. This will include assessment, diagnosis and ongoing prescribing of medicines where applicable. For ASD this will include triage, assessment, diagnosis and post assessment support. For ADHD this will include triage, assessment, diagnosis, management and ADHD medication if clinically appropriate. In the meantime, we are interested to hear from providers about their ASD and ADHD good practice and clinical approaches. We are particularly interested to hear from you regarding; • What evidence based clinical tools and assessment criteria (including digital methods) you use to inform decision making supporting referral, assessment and diagnosis of ASD and ADHD. • How you determine the clinical appropriateness of a referral. • How you practically manage waiting lists and support prioritisation of patients when required. • What different approaches you feel you need / or employ to support CYP and Adult patient groups, including transition to Adult services and moving out of area. If you could send responses in respect of the questions above to procurement@snee.nhs.uk by 17:00 on the 21st May 2025. Please include direct contact information in case the Commissioners would like to discuss your responses further.
