## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is inviting tenders for the "EHC Plan Conversion Framework," a project focusing on education and training services. This initiative aims to convert existing Statements of Special Educational Needs (SEN) into Education, Health, and Care (EHC) Plans, with the tender period concluding on 10th August 2017. The contract is set to start on 25th September 2017 and will run for one year, ending on 25th September 2018. The procurement process follows an open method, allowing a broad pool of tender submissions. The estimated value of the contract is £97,000, and the service delivery will cover multiple locations, including the UK and various overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational, health, and social care services, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in developing EHC Plans or those familiar with special educational needs processes would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender can enhance a business's portfolio and establish strong relationships with local authorities, potentially leading to further collaborative opportunities in the education and social care sectors.

## Notice

Tenders are invited for the provision of a service to undertake the conversion of existing Statements of SEN to EHC Plans as part of the Transfer Review process. An earlier stage of this process involves the local authority obtaining relevant advice and information relating to the child or young person's special educational, health and social care needs. Once it has been obtained, the local authority will provide the Service Provider with all relevant advice and information, along with a copy of the existing Statement of SEN, to enable the Service Provider to write the child or young person's draft EHC plan.
