## Summary

The Sefton SEND Review is a public procurement contract initiated by Sefton Council, aiming to address the Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) system as per the Children and Families Act 2014. This contract, classified under education and training services, has a value of £30,000 and is scheduled to commence on 3rd September 2018, running until 31st January 2019. The open tender process concluded on 16th July 2018, with proposals being sought from parties capable of delivering the necessary services in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in educational services, particularly those focused on SEND solutions. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can contribute to enhancing the educational framework for young people with SEND in Sefton, potentially leading to longer-term contracts and relationships with the council, thereby fostering sustainable business growth.

## Notice

The Children and Families Act 2014 provided an overhaul of the Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) system. In terms of Education, Training and Employment, Sefton Council's ambition for all young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) is that they are able to achieve their potential. High quality provision should be in place to enable young people to progress in learning, with the long term aim of achieving paid employment. All Local Authorities have now received funding to conduct a Review of Special Educational Needs provision and funding. Nationally all Local Authorities are struggling to match demand: resource as outlined in the Association of Directors of Children's Services report. Sefton's School Forum have agreed to support overspend for 2018/19 only, this is dependent on Sefton MBC leading a review to enable the resource to match demand.
