Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich procured a managed educational psychology service for London. The service provides responsive educational psychologist support for children requiring Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments. Its purpose is to ensure assessments are completed promptly so children receive appropriate support, resources and educational provision as early as possible. The requirement is classified as a service and includes community health services. Delivery is associated with the Royal Borough of Greenwich area in London. This is a local-authority service requirement focused on educational psychology input, assessment of children’s additional needs and coordination of the support needed to meet those needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Sanctuary Personnel Limited was awarded the contract on 10 August 2026. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 18 June 2027. Its value is £158,130 excluding VAT and £189,756 including VAT. The active contract is for the managed educational psychology service. The published outcome identifies Sanctuary Personnel Limited as the selected supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route, rather than an open or competitive tender.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for outsourced educational psychology capacity supporting statutory EHC needs assessments. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need access to suitably experienced educational psychologists, the ability to provide responsive assessment support, and the operational capacity to manage referrals and deliver assessments within required timescales. Credible providers should understand children’s additional educational and health needs, produce clear professional advice, and work effectively with the local authority and other services to identify suitable resources and provision. Experience delivering managed or commissioned educational psychology services, coordinating practitioner workloads and maintaining consistent service quality would strengthen a supplier’s position when Greenwich next reviews this requirement.
