The tender, which falls under the education and training category, is designed for placing SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) children within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Using an open procedure, the procurement process concluded its tender period on 25th April 2025, with the contract period spanning from 27th April 2025 to 31st March 2028.
