Summary of the contracting process

The East Sussex County Council is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the SEND Information and Advice Service, aiming to gather insights into the available provisions to support Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) services. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the engagement deadline set for 5:00 PM on 11th February 2022. The geographical focus is on the South East region of the United Kingdom, and the project falls under the categories of education and training, as well as health and social work services.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in education, social work, and community support services to engage with local authorities and expand their offerings. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as their flexible and tailored service approaches may align well with the Council's requirements for SEND provision. By participating in this RFI, businesses can influence the development of services and potentially secure long-term contracts with the East Sussex County Council and Brighton and Hove City Council.
