## Summary

Wigan Council has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of Education Psychological Assessments. This process falls within the services industry category, specifically targeting the need for experienced Educational Psychologists. Due to a national shortage of such professionals, Wigan Council sought assistance from an agency. The procurement stage was completed with the contract being awarded to Spencer Clarke Group on 28th October 2025, with the active supply period extending until 27th April 2026. The procurement method employed was direct and was classified as below threshold without competition under the 'lightTouch' regime. This initiative addresses the statutory demands faced by the Educational Psychology Service and targets various regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational and training services, particularly those well-equipped to manage consultancy services. With the growing demand for skilled Educational Psychologists, agencies and consultancies that focus on human resources and recruitment within this sector stand to benefit from similar procurement requirements in the future. Spencer Clarke Group, an SME from Preston, is ideally placed given their expertise and infrastructure to deliver these specialised services. This procurement highlights the potential for other small to medium-sized enterprises in the UK to explore public sector contracts that align with their service capabilities, tapping into government funding aimed at addressing skills shortages.

## Notice

Due to the high numbers of statutory assessments required of the Educational Psychology Service, it was necessary to work with an agency to gain the experienced Educational Psychologists needed to carry out the face-to-face assessments. There is a national shortage of Educational Psychologists impacting upon recruitment.
