Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council commissioned educational psychology assessments to support Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). The work falls within psychologist services and is delivered in Worcestershire. This is a specialist assessment service for children and young people requiring EHCP-related educational psychology input. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, with the requirement awarded to one supplier.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. LINQ Healthcare Recruitment Specialists Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2025, with a period running from 1 September 2025 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £233,750 excluding VAT and £280,500 including VAT. The process was described as below threshold; the procurement method is recorded as unknown. The award concerns services and uses a light-touch regime. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Worcestershire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for EHCP-related educational psychology assessments at a substantial, county-wide service scale. A credible competitor would need access to appropriately qualified educational psychologists, the capacity to complete assessments reliably across Worcestershire, and experience producing professional assessments that support EHCP processes. Recruitment capability may also be relevant: the selected supplier is a healthcare recruitment specialist, indicating that sourcing and deploying suitable practitioners can form part of the delivery proposition. Suppliers should be equipped to manage a single, sizeable service requirement and deliver consistent specialist input for the Council. The contract was handled below threshold under a light-touch regime, providing an indication of the route used for this requirement.
