## Summary

The London Borough of Bromley Council has awarded the contract for the Provision of Special Educational Needs (SEN) Mediation and Dispute Resolution Service, which falls under the health and social work services category. This procurement was completed with a total contract value of £140,000 and has a duration from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2025. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement period for tenders concluded on 30th October 2020, located in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational mediation and dispute resolution services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can demonstrate expertise in SEN mediation, compliance with relevant statutory guidance from the Children and Families Act (2014), and a solid understanding of the needs of young people and families will be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

The Children and Families Act (2014) introduced duties on Local Authorities to make available SEN mediation in prescribed circumstances in matters relating to the statutory process of Education Health and Care (EHC) Needs Assessment and EHC Plans. The Act also retained the existing duty to provide SEN Disagreement Resolution Services. Statutory guidance on these duties are set out in the Special Education Needs & Disability Code of Practice (2015). This service offers mediation and dispute resolution services as required by young people and families.
