## Summary

Sheffield City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "SEND Mediation" tender, valued at £80,000. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is aimed at providing impartial disagreement resolution and mediation services to service users and education providers. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2019 and will extend until 31st March 2021. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 7th March 2019.

Opportunities for business growth arise from this tender, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in mediation and conflict resolution within educational and health sectors. Companies with experience in providing similar services can leverage their expertise to compete effectively for future contracts, especially those aimed at enhancing collaboration between local authorities, parents, and service users in navigating education, health, and social care disputes.

## Notice

Sheffield City Council seek to develop a collaborative relationship with the Independent Sector to deliver impartial Disagreement Resolution and Mediation Services to Service Users and Education Providers, Local Authorities or Health Commissioners. Local Authorities have an obligation to inform Parents and Young People of the possibility of resolving disagreements across Education, Health and Social Care through the Disagreement Resolution and Mediation Procedures. Education, Health and Social Care Providers should also have Complaints Procedures which, along with details about appealing to the Tribunal, should be made known to Parents and Young People through the Purchasers Information, Advice and Support Service. The Children and Families Act 2014 makes provision for Parents and Young People to access a Disagreement Resolution Process or Mediation Service prior to registering an appeal with the First-tier Tribunal.
