Adult Neurodiversity Post Diagnostic Support Service

Tender description

Changes to the Neurodevelopment pathway have recently been made to improve the patient experience delivered by this existing contract, which has necessitated an increase to the funding required to provide this service above the original advertised contract value. Lot 1: The Service provides: • Intensive one to one peer support including a personalised plan, counselling sessions for those with a recent Neurodevelopment diagnosis. • A wider offer of support for those awaiting assessment, self-identifying, with a historic diagnosis or questioning including support and advice and group-based support. Additional information: At this time the CCG is not in a position to go out to the market to re-procure this service because further time is required to stabilise the changes to the pathway and understand the baseline level of demand created through the changes. The data compiled during this extended period will form the basis for a specification to be used in any future procurement.
