## Summary

Doncaster Borough Council is inviting tenders for a mediation service aimed at facilitating communication between local authority representatives and parents who are appealing decisions regarding their children's Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs). The tender, valued at £40,000, is classified under health and social work services and is currently active. Interested parties should submit their bids by 12:00 on June 11, 2021. The contract period is set to begin on June 21, 2021, and will last until June 21, 2023. This procurement follows an open procedure method, allowing any qualified supplier to apply.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for businesses in the mediation sector, particularly those experienced in education-related disputes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, as the council is open to working with them. Providers with expertise in resolving conflicts and strong communication skills will have a competitive edge, helping to build relationships between all parties involved. This contract not only enhances service delivery in the educational sector but can also contribute to the growth of innovative mediation practices within the community.

## Notice
