## Summary

Kent County Council commissioned SEND programme management services for the SE19 SEND Programme. The appointed provider is required to convene, manage, organise and support the programme’s work, including coordinating and managing other consultants involved in delivery. The service also includes liaison with relevant sector-led improvement initiatives across the south-east and with regional or national networks. This is a professional education and training service, classified under CPV 80000000, delivered for Kent County Council in Maidstone, Kent. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is aimed at organisations with experience of managing complex special educational needs and disabilities programmes, coordinating multiple contributors and working across local-government, regional and national networks.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to RWB Consultancy Ltd. The award date was 30 July 2026, following a tender submission deadline of 30 July 2026 at 12 noon. It was run as a selective call-off from the SESLIP dynamic purchasing system. The awarded value is £96,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contracting authority is Kent County Council. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement covered a single service requirement for programme management and support for the SE19 SEND Programme, rather than separate lots or multiple awards.

This award demonstrates demand from Kent County Council for specialist SEND programme management delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can convene and coordinate a multi-party improvement programme, organise delivery by several consultants and provide structured management support. Relevant capability includes understanding special educational needs and disabilities services, working effectively with local-authority stakeholders and maintaining productive relationships across sector-led improvement initiatives. Experience of regional or national professional networks would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to manage competing workstreams and contributors. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a focused consultancy with demonstrable SEND programme leadership and strong coordination processes could be well placed when comparable work returns to this buyer.

## Notice

Kent County Council have awarded RWB Consultancy Ltd a contract under SC240046 - SESLIP DPS. The call off will require RWB to convene, manage, organise and support the work of the SE19 SEND Programme, including organising the work of other consultants supporting the Programme. Liaise as appropriate with other sector-led improvement initiatives in the south-east, and with other regional or national networks.
