This procurement falls under the category of education and training services. The tender is currently in the Open procedure stage, with a submission deadline of 20 December 2018. The contract, valued at £130,000, is set to commence on 1 February 2019 and conclude on 31 July 2019, conducted in the North West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and support services, particularly those with experience in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, bringing innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the education sector in Wirral. Companies that have a track record of working within the public sector, especially in delivering tailored educational strategies or services, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Wirral is committed to ensuring that there is sufficient, high quality Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision to meet the needs of Wirral' s children and young people with special educational needs. This commitment is outlined in Wirral's Children and Families strategy which states that 'we will develop ambitious and inclusive plans to improve outcomes for children with special educational needs and / or disabilities, using their plans and national best practice to inform our local approach to commissioning school places. Wirral Council has identified that providing quality Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision is becoming increasingly challenging in the borough. In light of the Children's Act in 2014 and the reforms outlining the duty on mainstream schools to use their "best endeavours" to provide support to children and young people with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) there is a growing tension between the rising demand for support and ensuring that there are adequate resources within the mainstream and specialist sector. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e901c541-2416-4dc1-83ea-402d06a43039 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2019 - 31 Jul 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £130,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WIRRAL BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | BIRKENHEAD | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH41 5AL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD74 Wirral | | Local authority | Wirral | | Electoral ward | Birkenhead and Tranmere | | Westminster constituency | Birkenhead | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2018 at 11:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e901c541-2416-4dc1-83ea-402d06a43039 - 6 Dec 2018 at 11:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4165d756-5cbb-4684-bda4-ca801337bf28 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e901c541-2416-4dc1-83ea-402d06a43039 6th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4165d756-5cbb-4684-bda4-ca801337bf28 6th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.wirral.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
