250900 Clinical Psychological Assessments

De Montfort University in Leicester is seeking to establish a framework agreement to engage up to four Clinical Psychologists for the provision of clinical psychological assessments, primarily for their students. This procurement is categorised under "Psychiatrist or psychologist services" and covers the UKF21 region in the United Kingdom. The university is using an open procedure, below-threshold competition, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023.

The tender process is currently at the stage of tender submission, with the period ending on 12th January 2026. The contract, expected to be valued at approximately £100,000 excluding VAT, is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2026 and run through to 31st March 2030. The framework will operate on a closed allocation system where the highest-scoring provider based on evaluation will initially be allocated work.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in psychiatry or psychology services, particularly those capable of providing clinical assessments. Companies that can demonstrate excellence in service delivery and competitive pricing stand to benefit from being part of a multi-year agreement with De Montfort University. The structured nature of the framework agreement, which allows for up to four participants, is particularly suited to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their reach within the academic sector by delivering critical student support services.

Participation in this tender could enhance visibility within the public procurement market and provide a steady stream of work throughout the contract period.
