This tender will cover two lots, with the first requiring approximately 360-380 assessments per academic year at Derby sites and the second approximately 40-60 assessments in Buxton, Leek, and Chesterfield. A supplier engagement event is scheduled for 11th February 2020 at the University's Kedleston Road location, with an engagement end date for interested providers to respond by 5th February 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those offering assessments related to specific learning difficulties. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as they can provide tailored services that align with the University’s requirements. Engaging with the University during the supplier event could further enhance prospects for collaboration and understanding of the tender's specific needs. ## Notice The University of Derby is looking to run a tender for the supply and delivery of post 16 diagnostic assessments and reports for SpLD including dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder and dyscalculia. This service is for pre-entry students and current students that have been pre-screened by the University, show indications of SpLD and where access to the service is likely to have a positive impact on their academic outcomes. Lot 1 includes the delivery of approximately 360-380 SpLD assessments per academic year at University of Derby sites within the city of Derby. Lot 2 includes the delivery of approximately 40-60 SpLD assessments per academic year at University of Derby sites in Buxton, Leek and Chesterfield. The University will be tendering for the above requirement in April/May 2020 but prior to advertising the tender opportunity, it wishes to hold a supplier event to provide details about the tender process and the university's requirement, as well as obtaining feedback from providers on the way the University intends to package this procurement process. We would like to hear from interested providers who would like to attend this event on Tuesday 11th February 2020 at 3.30pm until 4.30pm at Kedleston Road, Derby DE22 1GB. If you are interested and able to attend, please email a.salt@derby.ac.uk by midday on Wednesday 5th February 2020. Please also provide details of any access requirements, if applicable. If you are interested but unable to attend, all notes will be provided as part of the tender documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3605b4-5481-4e69-9924-0d6199bb4701 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jan 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Feb 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF DERBY | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE22 1GB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Allestree | | Westminster constituency | Mid Derbyshire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80340000 - Special education services ## Release History - 15 Jan 2020 at 12:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3605b4-5481-4e69-9924-0d6199bb4701 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8d3605b4-5481-4e69-9924-0d6199bb4701 15th January 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
