The tender, titled "Educational Psychologists for Student Assessments," has a contract value of £89,000 and is scheduled to close on 21 May 2019. The anticipated award date is 28 May 2019, with services to commence on 1 July 2019. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and submissions must be made electronically via the designated platform. This contract presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in educational psychology or related fields. Companies or individuals who are BPS accredited educational psychologists or PATOSS qualified with assessment practising certificates would be well-suited to compete for this tender. As demand for support services for students with SpLD continues to grow, successful bidders will not only fulfil the immediate needs of Abertay University but could also enhance their reputations and expand their client base within the higher education sector. ## Notice Abertay University is currently looking to appoint a contract for an appropriately qualified professional(s) to undertake psychological assessments for students who present as having an SpLD. The successful individual/company will be required to provide a range of diagnostic assessments for Specific Learning Difficulties e.g. dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia. In addition, it would be beneficial if the successful individual/company has the ability to recognise (but not necessarily diagnose) other conditions such as Autistic Spectrum Disorder, ADD or ADHD. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This contract notice follows on from the PIN reference: APR350072 There has been an increasing number of students diagnosed with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) over the past 10 years [https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/whos-in-he/characteristics]. The purpose of assessing students who have (self-diagnosed) SpLD indicators is to provide appropriate advice, guidance and support. Students who are diagnosed with a disability (such an SpLD) can access additional support for the University and from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS), and comparable organisations in the other nations of the UK, in the form of Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) [https://www.saas.gov.uk/_forms/dsa_notes.pdf]. DSA is made up for three components, basic, equipment (i.e. computer hardware and software) and Non-Medical support (i.e learning support tutor costs, etc). Students diagnosed with an SpLD are also given dispensations by the University, including extra time in exams. Therefore, Abertay University is currently looking to appoint a contract for an appropriately qualified professional(s) to undertake psychological assessments for students who present as having an SpLD.
