## Summary

The Local Government Association is inviting tenders for a project titled "Understanding the effectiveness of arrangements to support post-16 young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)" aimed at assessing the effectiveness of current support systems for young individuals with SEND in England. This research initiative falls under the services category and is classified under CPV code 73000000, which pertains to research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 6th December 2019. The estimated contract value is £25,000, and the project is to be conducted in London, with the contract period commencing on 1st January 2020 and concluding on 5th May 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in educational consultancy and research services. Businesses that have expertise in evaluating educational programmes or providing support to young people with special needs would be particularly well-suited to participate in this procurement. The tender aims to identify effective practices and optimally utilise existing resources, which could lead to valuable insights and further opportunities for companies in this niche sector.

## Notice

The LGA, Natspec (the membership association for organisations which offer specialist further education and training for students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities) and the Association of Colleges (AoC) wish to commission research to better understand how effective existing arrangements are in providing support to post-16 young people (16 to 25 year olds) with SEND in England, and what this means for funding and commissioning these services. We also wish to identify good practice in terms of use of existing budgets, as well as what more could be done to make best use of existing resources. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
