Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council had initiated a public procurement process titled "Education Psychology Services for Rutland County Council," designed to cater to educational and psychological services within the region specified as UKF22. The process was carried out under an open competition procurement method with key stages, including an active tender stage which was set to end on 4th April 2025. This procurement was especially structured around the below-threshold constraint tailored to allow competition from a variety of suppliers. Despite its completion status, all initial submissions were deemed non-compliant, triggering a cancellation notice published on 30th May 2025 due to all submissions exceeding the contract value.

This tender, although ultimately cancelled, presented an opportunity for businesses involved in education and training, as well as psychological services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were particularly encouraged to consider such opportunities, as the contract was within a comfortably manageable financial scope for these types of organisations. The quality-focused criteria for evaluation suggested that businesses emphasizing high-level service delivery could thrive. As future competitions may arise with similar requirements, interested companies are recommended to keep abreast of updates, ensuring readiness for emerging procurement opportunities tailored to their service strengths.
