NW2024-61 Adult ADHD Accreditation Framework

Tender description

Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Board and Cambridge and Peterborough Integrated Care Board both have Adult ADHD Assessment and Treatment services commissioned offer through from local Mental Health Trusts. These are successful small teams. However, with the advent of COVID-19, partnered with an exponential increase in referrals both ICBs need to commission additional services under a Framework to assist with the current wait list and to offer patient choice in line with national guidance / policy. Alongside this, further work is happening to look at how we can re-design the service to meet increased demands. This includes a redesign of the ADHD pathway in both systems. Providers delivering services to both ICBs can therefore expect changes, during the life of the contract, in the local treatment and intervention offers and referral, triage, and screening arrangements, that they need to adapt and respond to. There are no finances attached to this Framework as providers will invoice the ICB(s) under the current Right to Choose process – this will be detailed for those providers that join the Framework.
