## Summary

The Surrey County Council has completed a tender process for the Special Educational Needs (SEN) contract with a value of £3,057,600. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 8th September 2023, and the contract period is from 11th September 2023 to 10th September 2024. The contract is aimed at addressing significant delays in Education Health and Care Needs Assessment Timeliness Recovery Plan.

This procurement opportunity can benefit businesses in the services sector, especially those offering educational psychology services and SEN support. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited for this tender opportunity. Surrey County Council initiated this tender to increase short-term capacity to address the overdue workload of needs assessments and annual reviews, creating an opportunity for businesses to contribute to improving timeliness in service delivery.

## Notice

The Education Health and Care Needs Assessment Timeliness Recovery Plan is being accelerated to address the current significant delays. This strategy to improve timeliness is multi-faceted, but one of the most critical parts of the plan is to significantly increase short term capacity to the Educational Psychology service and SEN services to address the overdue workload of needs assessments and annual reviews. A SEN contract is required initially for up to 12 months because it would not be feasible for the service to recruit or manage the level of temporary resource quickly or effectively enough to meet the level of workload expected in the short term.
