Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council has concluded a public procurement process titled "RFE - EP Assessments," pertinent to the Children Families & Education sector, specifically focusing on Educational Psychology (EP) assessments. The procurement was conducted without competition due to its nature as a below-threshold contract, with Liquid Personnel Limited being awarded the contract. This involved direct procurement, commencing on 1st April 2025 and concluding on 30th September 2025. The services were focused within the health and social work industry category in the region of UKH21, Luton, United Kingdom. Although the contract has since been terminated due to expiration, the initial award notice was published on 10th November 2025, reflecting its completed status.

This tender presented opportunities primarily for businesses involved in providing health and social work services, especially those with a specialised focus in educational psychology assessments. Companies like Liquid Personnel Limited, which is experienced in staffing and health and social care sectors, successfully capitalised on this opportunity, indicating that businesses with the capability to offer tailored, skilled services in similar domains could greatly benefit from such tenders. The procurement strategy here underscores potential growth avenues for firms adept at executing high-quality services within stipulated timelines and those capable of fulfilling similar government contracts on a regional scale.
