What the notice says
Due to a sustained increase in referral rates, demand for paediatric autism assessments now exceeds the Trust’s current service capacity. This has resulted in extended waiting times for patients requiring assessment. To address this backlog and improve timeliness of care, the Trust intends to procure additional capacity through the outsourcing of 88 autism assessments on a cost-and-volume basis. The Trust invites suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver these assessments.
