The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the initiative to seek external providers to ensure service impartiality and compliance with various statutory requirements.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their service offerings in the educational and social support sectors. Companies specialising in health, social work, or educational services would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, given its focus on delivering important support for children with SEND in the South West region of the United Kingdom.
