UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich commissioned a managed educational psychology service to provide responsive support for statutory assessment requests for Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments. The service is intended to help the council meet statutory timelines and handle assessment requests efficiently through a whole-service delivery model. The work falls within education and training services. Delivery is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London. The contract covers the managed service as a whole rather than separately described service components.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sanctuary Personnel Limited. The council used a direct award, explaining that no market could meet the full requirement because the service offers a unique whole-service delivery. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026 and runs from 19 June 2026 to 18 June 2027, with an option to extend by six months. The projected maximum value, including the extension option, is £158,130 gross (£131,775 excluding VAT). The procurement was below threshold. The award covers one lot; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows that Greenwich buys a managed educational psychology service capable of delivering the full service as a single, responsive offer, rather than meeting only selected parts of the requirement. A credible competitor would need the workforce and service-management capacity to respond to EHC needs assessment requests and support the council in meeting statutory timelines. The buyer’s stated reason for selecting a direct award was that no market could deliver the full requirement and that the whole-service model was unique. Suppliers considering comparable work for this council should therefore be able to demonstrate integrated end-to-end delivery, sufficient educational psychology expertise and reliable responsiveness to statutory assessment demand. Sanctuary Personnel, a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected for this contract.
