This procurement falls under the research and development services category and has a budget of £65,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to conclude on 14th January 2019. The contract period will run from 1st February 2019 to 28th June 2019. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those focused on educational provisions for children with special educational needs (SEN). Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as they will find the tender process accessible. Engaging in this feasibility study could help these businesses expand their portfolios and gain valuable insights into the current landscape of SEN provision in England. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to conduct a feasibility study to inform a future value for money study of SEN provision for pupils with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans in England. The feasibility study will cover an investigation of the cost data available from local authorities (LAs) and educational settings, a review of relevant outcomes information and an outline of how value for money could be assessed. The methodology will include an evidence review as well as qualitative engagement with educational settings and LAs, resulting in a report that summarises, for the purposes of a proposed future study, the cost and outcomes information required to determine the value for money of SEN provision and the extent to which it is possible to obtain this.
