Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council has completed the procurement process titled "SC240046 - SESLIP DPS - Children and Young People and Continuing Care 2025-2027" under a direct award from a dynamic purchasing system (DPS). This procurement process falls under the Education and Training Services category and was carried out using a selective method. The project, which commenced on 1st August 2025 and will conclude on 31st July 2026, aims to support the SESLIP Regional Improvement Plan, focusing on services for children and young people. The council, located in Maidstone, Kent (postal code ME14 1XQ), has appointed Sue Kocaman for the work, with a contract value of £36,000. The award followed the tender's end date of 17th July 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in project management and coordination of educational services. Given its focus on children and young people's services, businesses with expertise in these areas and a strong network in the south-east of England, which can contribute to sector-led improvement initiatives, are particularly well-suited. This contract offers an opportunity not only to provide valuable services within a high-impact regional project but also to build lasting relationships with Kent County Council and similar public sector organisations.
