Summary of the contracting process

London Fire Commissioner procured neurodiversity learning and support services for London Fire Brigade employees, including line managers of neurodivergent staff. The service covers full psychological assessments, co-coaching, one-to-one or group tutoring, and other learning support related to neurodiversity. It is intended for staff across the Brigade, with delivery in London. The requirement combines assessment with practical, individual and group-based support, rather than a single stand-alone assessment service.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Genius Within CIC. The award followed a below-threshold open competition, with bids weighted 70% for technical quality and 30% for commercial factors. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its value is £125,230 excluding VAT (£150,276 including VAT). The original estimated procurement value was £149,999 excluding VAT (£179,998.80 including VAT). The tender deadline was 15 July 2026, with questions due by 30 June 2026. The procurement was a single lot, assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers monitoring this buyer’s requirements, this award shows demand for a joined-up neurodiversity service for a large, varied workforce: psychological assessment alongside coaching, tutoring and learning support, offered both individually and in groups. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the technical capability to deliver the full range, including support for employees and line managers, and the capacity to serve staff across the London Fire Brigade. The evaluation placed substantially more weight on technical quality than on price, so evidence of effective methods, appropriate expertise and the ability to tailor support to different needs would be central to a competitive offer. The requirement also attracted an organisation identified as a social enterprise, and the lot was considered suitable for smaller and mission-led providers.
