## Summary

Wigan Council commissioned additional educational psychology capacity to help complete 220 Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments and meet its statutory duties. The work is educational psychology assessment services, within the education and training services category (CPV 80000000). Delivery is for the Council in the Wigan area. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and covered assessment work rather than a broader education service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PRECISION RESOURCE GROUP LIMITED. The award was made on 7 October 2026, and the contract was signed on 8 October 2026. Its gross value is £308,000. The contract runs from 8 October 2026 to 7 April 2027, providing six months of additional capacity for the 220 assessments. Wigan Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award was for the single lot. The published process data does not set out a scored evaluation or selection basis; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route.

For suppliers of educational psychology services and assessment capacity, this award shows that Wigan Council has used external support to address a substantial EHC assessment workload and meet statutory requirements. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate access to appropriately qualified educational psychologists, the ability to deliver consistent assessment work at volume, and capacity to support a concentrated programme over a defined period. Experience completing EHC needs assessments and managing delivery against statutory duties would be directly relevant. The scale here involved 220 assessments, so workforce availability, deployment and reliable throughput would be central to demonstrating capability. This contract was awarded directly without competition; the outcome identifies the type and scale of requirement, not a competitive scoring model.

## Notice

The Local Authority is commissioning Panoramic Associates to provide additional Educational Psychology capacity to support the completion of 220 Education, Health and Care Needs Assessments over a 6-month period to ensure that statutory requirements are achieved.
