Procurement Information

If we did not place this notice and directly award these contracts, the Council would be in breach of its responsibilities in accordance with Section F of the EHCP, this could risk the Council being involved in costly legal Tribunal cases, and result in spot purchasing arrangements. It also would reduce the outcomes for children with SEN/D, it would not provide equal access to support. Without this VEAT the Council cannot progress putting the required formal agreement(s) in place and as such, the support of the hospitals/NHS or our ability to monitor / track data would be compromised.
