Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council is initiating a Framework Agreement for Independent Psychologists during Permanence Orders as part of their planned procurement process. This tender, with a projected value of £400,000, aims to engage psychologists specialising in expert psychological assessments for children involved in permanence order proceedings. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 1st May 2019. The services will be delivered within the City of Edinburgh, providing an essential resource for looked after and accommodated children in the context of their care requirements.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in providing psychological services, particularly those with expertise in child psychology, court evidence, and psychological assessments. Companies with a strong background in working with vulnerable children and those experienced with legal frameworks governing permanence orders would be exceptionally well-suited to compete. As the framework may eventually involve multiple suppliers, businesses can benefit from the chance to establish a long-term relationship with the Council, potentially leading to consistent work as requirements arise.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The city of Edinburgh Council intends to implement a framework agreement for the supply of Independent Psychological Assessments during permanence order applications for looked after and accommodated children. A framework agreement is a contract held with multiple suppliers, in essence it creates a reliable database of capable suppliers which can then be instructed by the Council when needed. Under this framework it is hoped we will obtain a number of suppliers with varying experience, specialities and knowledge, as to ensure there are no gaps in the provision. It is intended that this framework will facilitate the future placement of psychologists with permanence order applications, improving the timeliness, quality and compliance of the service provision.
