## Summary

The East Sussex County Council, via SE Shared Services, has completed the award of a procurement process for the "ESCC JC Mediation and Disagreement Resolution Services Framework." This contract falls under the category of Special Education Services and is valued at £2,000,000. The contract is set to run from 16 March 2020 to 16 March 2024, and it stemmed from an open procurement process that was initially tendered with the deadline for submissions on 10 December 2019. The services will be provided at specified locations within the South East region of the United Kingdom, directly addressing the statutory responsibilities outlined in the Children and Families Act 2014 regarding special educational provision.

This procurement presents opportunities primarily for large service providers engaged in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in mediation and disagreement resolution. As the contract serves multiple authorities within the South East Mediation Group, businesses capable of scaling operations and maintaining impartial and independent services will be well-suited to compete. Participation in this framework could allow firms to secure stable, ongoing contracts with the council and its partners, fostering long-term growth and collaboration within the public sector.
