Paediatric autism assessment capacity

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust · Tender notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 2 Oct 2026, 14:17.

Opportunity overview

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.
