## Summary

The London Borough of Southwark is currently engaged in a procurement process for "SEND Mediation Services," which aims to resolve disputes related to the Education, Health and Care plan for special educational needs and disabilities. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services, with the region of delivery designated as UKI44 in London. The process is at the tender stage, allowing open competition below the threshold. Submissions are due by 12 Noon on 17th July 2026. The total contract value is estimated at £275,000, and the initial contract period is set to last from 1st February 2027 to 31st January 2030, with options for renewal.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to their specified suitability considerations. Companies specialising in mediation services or those with expertise in health and social work can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their service provision in local government contracts. As the procurement method is open, businesses with a competitive edge in cost and quality stand a favourable chance, with the evaluation criteria equally weighted between these two factors.
