## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently conducting a procurement process for the SEND Information Advice Support Service (IASS), aimed at providing essential information and advice for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) or disabilities, as well as their parents or carers. This tender falls under the services industry category, specifically classified as Adult and other education services. The procurement is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 10 April 2020. The contract period starts on 1 May 2020 and concludes on 31 March 2022, with a total contract value of £280,000. The delivery addresses are located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide education and support services related to SEN and disabilities. Companies specialising in welfare services for children and young people, training services, and legal advisory services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given its focus on delivering comprehensive support and information to service users and their families.
