Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Essex County Council, which is seeking to enhance its existing SEND Local Offer website. This tender, titled "SEND Local Offer on Localgov Drupal," is classified under the technical analysis or consultancy services industry. The procurement stage is currently complete, with an award date of 25th February 2022. The contract, valued at £82,390, will run from 14th March 2022 to 13th March 2024, and services will be delivered in the East of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in web development, technical consultancy, and digital service design. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the procurement method allows for selective bidding from a framework agreement. Companies that can effectively address the accessibility and usability issues of public websites will be particularly competitive in this process.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SEND Local Offer on Localgov Drupal

Notice Description

Essex, like all areas in England, must provide a SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) Local Offer website with information about education, health and social care services for children and young people with SEND The Local Offer is a website which provides: * information and guidance about SEND processes * a directory of service listings. The current Local Offer is not meeting families' needs. It doesn't have all the required information; it's hard to find and understand the information that is there. The search function doesn't work well. When families can't find the information they need, it puts a strain on busy teams at the council and other organisations, including health services. For example, families often apply for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment when they aren't eligible for one. When families are confused about the services that are available to them, they get in touch with the professionals they've had most contact with (eg social workers). This can mean that professionals spend time directing families to the right place; and it takes families longer than it should to access the services they need.
