## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education in England, which has awarded a contract titled "Whole School SEND Contract Award Notice."

Successful competitors will likely have experience in developing and delivering training resources specifically tailored for SEND, thereby positioning themselves for potential future contracts in this growing area.
