Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured SEND advisory services for the London Boroughs of Camden, Ealing, Kensington and Chelsea, Lewisham and Westminster. The work falls within business and management consultancy and related services, and is intended to support special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) advisory requirements. Delivery covers England, including London, the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. The participating London boroughs are the named local authorities associated with the requirement, while the Department for Education is the buying organisation. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Helen Johns on 31 March 2026 for £54,000 excluding any further financial treatment stated in the procurement record. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 24 March 2026 at 17:00. The awarded contract is active, and the tender itself is recorded as complete. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available procurement record does not set out separate quality, price or other award weightings. The award covers the SEND advisory services requirement across the stated English delivery areas.

This award shows demand from the Department for Education for specialist SEND advisory support delivered through a framework call-off and suitable for an SME supplier. Businesses considering comparable work for this buyer would need a credible capability in SEND advice, backed by the ability to provide business and management consultancy services across multiple English regions and local-authority settings. Framework access and experience of responding to call-off requirements would be commercially relevant. The scale of the requirement indicates a focused advisory engagement rather than a large operational delivery contract, so independent advisers, specialist consultancies and other small providers with the right SEND expertise may be well placed. The named boroughs indicate the need to work across several local government environments.
