## Summary

The Department for Education has completed a public procurement process titled "Parent Carer Forum grants," which falls under the education and training services category. This initiative aims to allocate £2.3 million to parent carer forums in various local authority areas to enhance their engagement with local authorities in service delivery for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The tender period ended on 1st February 2017, with a contract period starting from 1st April 2017 and concluding on 22nd June 2017. The procurement method used was classified as "Other - Nothing Selected."

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in education services or those supporting children and young people with special educational needs. Companies engaged in delivering training, consultancy, or advocacy services relevant to parent carer forums would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with local authorities in service development can foster partnerships and expand market reach, making it an attractive prospect for organisations looking to grow within this sector.
