Businesses suited for these types of contracts include those equipped with the required professional qualifications and experience in the provision of expert psychological assessments and services to educational settings. This procurement method allows businesses to engage directly with contracting authorities, thus bypassing the competition phase, which can be advantageous for smaller, specialised suppliers.
