Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has concluded the procurement process for the "SEND Adviser Contract" focused on providing advisory services to the London Boroughs of Bromley, Lambeth, Merton, and Wandsworth. This contract falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). The procurement, using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, reached its award stage with a contract valued at £43,200. The contract began on 1st April 2026 and is set to end on 31st March 2027, encompassing multiple regions across the UK, including London and the South East. The notice was published on 20th May 2026, following an initial award date of 31st March 2026.

This contract presents business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), given the suitability criteria emphasising SME participation. Firms specialising in consultancy, particularly those with expertise in educational or advisory services, would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurements. Although the contract was awarded to Sonal Desai, a small-scale supplier, future tenders in this category may provide further opportunities for businesses looking to engage with local governmental markets in educational advisory capacities.
