Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Children and Young People Strategic Participation" was conducted by the Department for Education, focusing on education and training services. This contract, awarded in March 2020, aims to enhance the involvement of disabled children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in shaping policy at both national and local levels. The project includes support for Parent Carer Forums and intends to facilitate good practice sharing among these forums. The total contract value is £1,589,939 and covers a period from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021, with the procurement method classified as direct via a single tender action due to being below threshold. The tender phase concluded on 2nd March 2020.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in education services, particularly those with expertise in supporting disabled children and young people and navigating SEND policies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-equipped to compete for future contracts of a similar nature, as the focus on local engagement and support aligns with the strengths of these organisations. They can significantly contribute to the formation and nurturing of forums, enhancing the representation of disabled youth in policy development.
