The current stage is planning, and a market engagement event is scheduled for Monday, 11th October 2021, from 1 PM to 3 PM at The Guildhall, High Street, Bath, BA1 5AW. Interested parties should register by contacting the council's Education Commissioning team. This event will allow for discussions surrounding the needs of children aged 2-5 years with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) and complex health requirements. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in early childhood education services, particularly those with expertise in SEND. Providers that have a proven track record of delivering high-quality, innovative services are encouraged to participate. Given the emphasis on specialised support for young children, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that offer such services will find this procurement particularly relevant for potential growth and collaboration with the council. ## Notice Bath & North East Somerset Council is currently engaged in a recommissioning process for our Specialist Early Years Education Service. We would like to share our emerging 5-year commissioning plan, along with key requirements and timescales associated with the tendering process, during a market engagement event. This event will also allow us to discuss current and future priorities for supporting children aged 2-5 years with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) and/or complex health needs, who require specialist support and expertise. We will be looking to identify providers with a track record of providing high-quality, innovative services in the Early Years Sector with particular expertise in SEND. We will be commencing a procurement process later in the year and will provide indicative dates at the event, to be confirmed when the procurement process commences. The event will take place on Monday 11th October 2021, 1 - 3 pm in the Kapsovar Room, The Guildhall, High Street, Bath, BA1 5AW.
