Educational Psychology Assessment Delivery

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process seeking Educational Psychology services to support statutory Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments. The project, officially titled "Educational Psychology Assessment Delivery," falls under the supply of Psychiatrist or Psychologist services and is categorised as a services procurement. Located in the UKG23 region, Stoke-on-Trent.

The opportunity involves contracting various providers under a framework agreement set to begin on 1 April 2026, with initial terms set for two years and potential for an extension by another year. Interested parties are urged to express their interest by contacting Michele Perry before 29 August 2025, with an informative webinar scheduled the week commencing 15 September 2025. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in psychological services, particularly those with expertise in working with children and young people.

Suitably qualified Educational Psychologists who can offer inclusive, evidence-based assessments, and perform high-quality performance management are ideal candidates. The framework aims to form collaborative partnerships with providers who can ensure legally compliant, person-centred assessments that meet the local strategic priorities. Such involvement not only allows businesses to expand their service delivery within the public sector but also contributes to shaping an essential aspect of support for vulnerable populations in line with the Children and Families Act 2014.
