## Summary

The Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Educational Psychologists. The tender, initiated on March 30, 2023, and awarded on May 3, 2023, aimed to address the challenges in meeting statutory timeframes for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The procurement method used was selective, with a contract value of £853,259 GBP. The contract period runs from April 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024, and the service falls under the main procurement category of administrative educational services, with the delivery address located in Reigate, England.

This tender for Educational Psychologists by Surrey County Council presents business opportunities for service providers in the administrative educational sector. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in providing services in educational psychology are suited to compete for this contract. The opportunity, derived from a recovery plan to address backlog issues, offers a chance for growth and collaboration with public authorities to enhance support for children with SEND in meeting their educational needs efficiently.

## Notice

The Educational Psychology Service has been under increasing pressure to meet the statutory timeframes of the EHCP process for children with SEND. There has been a recovery plan in place to address the backlog whilst managing the rising numbers of requests, but this has not been successful in addressing the challenge due to the limited ability to recruit educational psychologists.
