Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest has completed the procurement process for the provision of Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) support services to schools, with a total contract value amounting to £3 million. The procurement, initiated under an open procedure, encompassed two lots: Lot 1, focusing on hearing and visual impairment outreach and support, and Lot 2, targeting SEND outreach services. The contract commenced on 1st September 2021 and is set to run until 31st August 2024, with a potential extension for up to 24 months. The tender period closed on 5th April 2021, with bids for both lots being received and evaluated prior to contract award.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in educational support services, particularly those with experience in delivering inclusive practices for students with disabilities. Companies that provide training and resources for educators, as well as those focusing on sensory impairment support, would be well-positioned to compete in this area. With the emphasis on quality service delivery and social value, organisations able to demonstrate effective strategies and innovative solutions in SEND support will likely stand out in future bidding opportunities.
