## Summary

Darlington Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Darlington, UK, has completed the tender process for hiring a Locum Educational Psychologist to support its Educational Psychology Service. The procurement, classified under the services category, was conducted through a direct method below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Marianne Taylor, an educational psychology service provider, with a contract value of £60,000 gross, extendable by two additional years. The contract period is from April 2025 to April 2027, signifying a comprehensive approach to local educational needs in the UKC13 region.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses providing education and training services, particularly those with expertise in educational psychology. While the contract was directly awarded and did not involve competitive bidding, similar opportunities may arise for organisations looking to grow within the public sector by offering specialised expertise tailored to children's educational psychological needs, aiding local councils in fulfilling specialised service gaps. Companies within the UK, especially those familiar with the region's educational landscape, could leverage such engagements to expand their service portfolio with public sector collaborations.
