The deadline for completing the brief survey is 20th August 2023. The tender is initiated due to a lack of capacity to manage the demand for statutory advice generated by X EHC needs assessments per month. This tender by the buying organisation, London Borough of Lambeth, presents opportunities for Limited Companies supplying Educational Psychology Services. The tender is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs). Businesses in the education and training services sector, particularly those with expertise in educational psychology services, would be well-suited to compete for this contract and help meet the demand for statutory advice in Lambeth. ## Notice Lambeth Special Educational Needs Team are currently initiating X EHC needs assessments per month. Lambeth EP service does not have the capacity currently to manage the demand for statutory advice that these needs assessments generate. We are therefore seeking to commission external providers to complete statutory advice that cannot be managed in-house. Not all schools in Lambeth have been able to procure an Educational Psychology Service in the current academic year. Consequently, requests for EHC needs assessments do not always include evidence of Educational Psychologist involvement or appended assessment reports. Where the Local Authority agree to undertake a needs assessment in these cases, a complete psychological assessment is sought. In other cases, requests for needs assessments include a comprehensive Educational Assessment. The Code of Practice states that if the existing report is deemed 'sufficient' no further assessment can be requested. In these circumstances the Local Authority may request a review of the current provision based on the recommendations in the existing report and a supplementary review report will be requested, summarising the child's needs and specifying outcomes and provision as identified in the existing report, amended as appropriate on the evidence in the review. This questionnaire seeks the views and opinions of Limited Companies supplying Educational Psychology Services who may be interested in delivering this service. The deadline to complete this brief survey is Date 20 August 2023 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9789b91e-2835-4fcd-9f94-25d648571765 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 20 Aug 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF LAMBETH | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW2 1RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Brixton Acre Lane | | Westminster constituency | Clapham and Brixton Hill | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 2 Aug 2023 at 09:19 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9789b91e-2835-4fcd-9f94-25d648571765 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9789b91e-2835-4fcd-9f94-25d648571765 2nd August 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bcad0a02-1929-4969-8a84-fc05fa2d2627 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
