SEND Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Service for the SEMG : Market Engagement Questionnaire

Notice Description

Oxfordshire County Council is looking to commission and procure a SEND Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Service providing impartial and independent disagreement resolution, mediation information and mediation services to young people and parents. It will also include a Single Provider Framework to allow the South East Mediation Group (SEMG) access to call off contracts with the Provider. The proposal is for a five-year contract. The Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Service will ensure that Local Authorities in South East Mediation Group can be confident they will fulfil their statutory duties under the Children and Families Act 2014.

We are inviting providers to respond to the market engagement questionnaire in relation to the scope and future contract arrangements.
