Summary of the contracting process

The University of Hertfordshire Higher Education Corporation has conducted an open tender process to establish a framework for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Assessment Services, classified under the Health and social work services industry category. This procurement exercise concluded with the award of multiple contracts to three suppliers: My kind of Thinking Ltd, The Dyslexia Association, and The Educational Guidance Service, to address the varying demands throughout the academic year. The contracts, locked on 1st August 2024, will span three years until 31st July 2027, with a possible extension of up to two additional years. This tendering process, completed on 1st May 2024, resulted from an open and competitive procurement method to ensure high-quality services at competitive rates. The specific services will be delivered primarily in the UKH23 region, covering the University of Hertfordshire area, with a total contract value of GBP 195,500 initially awarded.

This procurement represents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specializing in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in SpLD assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant qualifications, including current practising certificates from professional associations, and experience in diagnostic assessments for SPLD in adults, are well-suited to bid. Flexibility to cater to fluctuating student demands throughout the academic year is essential. Businesses capable of meeting the University’s standards for information security, data management, and compliance with academic schedules stand to benefit significantly from participating in such framework agreements.
