## Summary

The Wirral Borough Council is initiating a planned procurement process titled "External Review SEND Phase 2&3," focusing on Education and Training Services. This initiative, which is set to commence on 1st February 2019 and conclude by 31st July 2019, aims to enhance the quality of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision for children and young people in the Wirral area. With a budget of £130,000, the project addresses the increasing demand for specialised educational resources, as outlined in Wirral's Children and Families strategy. The relevant procurement notices have been published, with future announcements expected on 1st November 2019.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the education sector, particularly those with expertise in special educational needs services. Companies that are SMEs or have experience in providing training and resources to mainstream and specialist schools would be well-suited to compete for this tender. As the demand for quality SEND provision continues to rise, businesses that can offer innovative solutions and support will find ample scope for growth through this contract.

## Notice

Wirral is committed to ensuring that there is sufficient, high quality Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision to meet the needs of Wirral' s children and young people with special educational needs. This commitment is outlined in Wirral's Children and Families strategy which states that 'we will develop ambitious and inclusive plans to improve outcomes for children with special educational needs and / or disabilities, using their plans and national best practice to inform our local approach to commissioning school places. Wirral Council has identified that providing quality Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) provision is becoming increasingly challenging in the borough. In light of the Children's Act in 2014 and the reforms outlining the duty on mainstream schools to use their "best endeavours" to provide support to children and young people with a Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND) there is a growing tension between the rising demand for support and ensuring that there are adequate resources within the mainstream and specialist sector
