## Summary

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has issued a tender for the provision of specialist youth services focusing on SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). The procurement, under the project reference CS6089, is progressing through the tender stage and is aimed at enhancing specialist SEND provision across the borough. With a total value of £266,666 (with a gross amount of £320,000), the contract is structured as an open procedure under the services category. The tender seeks to provide centre-based support where in-house SEND youth provision is not currently available, ensuring young people aged 11-25 have access to free, tailored activities. The procurement process timings include an enquiry period until 30th June 2026, a tender period ending on 10th July 2026, and potential contract commencement from 1st September 2026, with provisions for contract renewal extending up to four years, located in the UK region UKI.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those skilled in delivering support to young people with SEND. Organisations that are SMEs or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are deemed suitable, encouraging diverse business growth. Companies with experience in implementing inclusive practices, engaging in positive activities, and enhancing social outcomes for young people could significantly benefit from this contract. The tender emphasises the need for quality, price competitiveness, and social value, thereby fostering opportunities for businesses that can deliver high-quality, cost-effective services while contributing positively to the community's social landscape.

## Notice

Tower Hamlets Council is committed to strengthening specialist SEND provision across the borough, ensuring that children and young people with additional needs have access to safe, inclusive, and high-quality environments where they can participate in meaningful activities, develop essential life skills, and receive appropriate support. Improving outcomes for children and young people with SEND remains a central priority within the Tower Hamlets Young Tower Hamlets Strategy 2025-2027. Continued investment has been directed into the borough's SEND system to enhance the quality, accessibility, and consistency of support ensuring that young people are given the best possible start in life and equitable opportunities to thrive within their communities. As part of this commitment, the Council's ambition to develop provision at ward level represents a key step towards creating a more localised, responsive model of support. High-quality centre-based SEND provision plays an important role in promoting wellbeing, developing independence, and supporting wider educational and social outcomes. The commissioned Specialist SEND Ward-Based Activity provision will therefore focus on delivering centre-based support in wards where in-house SEND youth provision is not currently available. This will ensure that all children and young people with SEND particularly those aged 11-25 with SEND-have access to free, accessible, and well-publicised specialist activities that are tailored to their needs, strengths, and aspirations.
