The service aim is to support the Council in meeting its statutory duties to children and young people with special educational need and/or disabilities (SEND) by providing high quality Educational Psychology services. The estimated number of Education, Health and Care Plans required in Rutland is 135 per year. Rutland is England's smallest mainland county and unitary authority. It is situated in the East Midlands between Leicester and Peterborough and has a fast-growing population of approximately 41,000. The main population centres are Oakham, the county town, and Uppingham, although the county is also rich in vibrant village communities. Budget & Potential DfE Changes Estimated Contract Value The contract value stated within this ITT is provided as an estimated value only. This estimate is based on current demand levels for Educational Psychology assessments and the forecasting data available at the time of publication. The actual number of assessments required over the contract period may vary. Potential Changes to National Requirements The Department for Education (DfE) is expected to announce potential changes relating to Educational Psychology assessment requirements. These changes may significantly reduce the overall number of assessments local authorities are required to commission. Should the DfE implement changes that materially affect demand, the Council reserves the right to adjust the volume of work commissioned under this contract. Consequently, the eventual contract value may be lower than the initial estimate, depending on the demand arising after any DfE announcement.
