## Summary

Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Educational Psychologist services. This contract aimed at facilitating early intervention and assessment activities for Early Years children requiring specialised assessments. The procurement was carried out using a limited method due to being a below-threshold competition, focusing on services within the "Psychiatrist or psychologist services" category under a light touch special regime. The contract was awarded to Precision Resource Group Limited, a large-scale supplier, and is active from 27 April 2026 until 30 November 2026, with a total contract value of £122,400. The services will be delivered primarily in the UKD41 region encompassing Blackburn. The award stage was formalised on 26 April 2026, marking the significant timeline of this procurement.

This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the psychological services sector that are poised for collaborating in public sector projects. Companies specialising in educational and psychological assessments can leverage such contracts to establish or expand their presence within government frameworks, enhancing their portfolio of public sector engagements. The focus on early intervention and collaborative work with educational professionals creates opportunities for businesses well-versed in handling multidisciplinary settings. Additionally, involvement in addressing early educational needs could offer businesses an entry point into subsequent related projects within the public sector landscape.

## Notice

This Educational Psychologist (EP) provision will support the delivery of early intervention and assessment activity for Early Years children where additional specialist assessment is required to better understand and identify needs prior to consideration of statutory processes. The work will involve close collaboration with SEND SS Early Years Advisory Teachers to assess children's strengths, needs and support requirements within their educational settings. Educational Psychologists will undertake joint work that typically includes observation, consultation with parents, educational settings and relevant professionals, and the production of written assessment reports and recommendations. This provision supports a pool of pre-EHCP assessments intended to identify needs at an earlier stage and inform appropriate support and intervention planning.
