Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council for Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Services specifically tailored for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This initiative is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone set for the engagement end date on 9th August 2019. Businesses interested in this opportunity should note the relevance of the East of England region for service delivery and consider that the prior tender attempt revealed complexities that necessitated further research and understanding before moving forward.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in mediation and conflict resolution services, particularly those with experience in educational settings or services for children and young people. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, given their potential for tailored and responsive service delivery. Engaging in this market testing exercise could provide valuable insight into customer needs, positioning these businesses favourably for future contracts once a formal procurement process is initiated.
