## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking to enhance its SEND Participation and Family Support services through an open procurement process. The tender, titled "SEND Participation and Family Support", falls under the education and training services category and is located in the UK. The procurement stage is currently in the Award phase, with the contract having a total value of £9,300,000. The contract period runs from 1st April 2022 until 31st March 2025, with previous key dates including a bid opening on 27th September 2021.

This procurement provides a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those focused on supporting children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Companies that can ensure effective stakeholder engagement, especially with parents, carers, and young people, are particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract could enhance a business’s reputation and portfolio in the public sector, while also contributing to improved outcomes for vulnerable groups in society.

## Notice

Our vision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is the same as for all children and young people - that they achieve well in their early years, at school and beyond; they find employment where that's appropriate; and lead happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives which they have choices and control over.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This procurement seeks to consolidate and grow the improvements we have seen to date and to continue increasing meaningful engagement with children, young people, parents, and carers - improving outcomes and ensuring we leave no child behind. It builds on the success of bringing together elements of the participation programme in 2018 by inviting bids that bring together Participation arrangements, including payments and due diligence of grants to Forums, with elements of the IAS programme - seeking to achieve benefits of greater collaboration across these strands and potential synergies.
