## Summary

Islington Council has initiated a tender process for the provision of a Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities Information, Advice & Support Service (SENDIASS). This service will provide free, impartial, confidential, and accessible support concerning education, health, and social care matters related to Special Educational Needs (SEN) and disabilities (SEND). The contract, valued at £870,000 over 60 months, is set to begin on 1 April 2025, with key deadlines for expressions of interest and tender submissions set for 18 October 2024.
