## Summary

Birmingham City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for "SEND Mediation" services, aimed at providing mediation information and mediation services specifically for children and parents dealing with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This procurement falls under the industry category of special education services, with the delivery location set within the United Kingdom's West Midlands region (UKG). The procurement is planned to commence on the 2nd of November 2026, intended to run until the 2nd of November 2030, with a possibility of renewal until 2031. This open procedure tender with a total estimated value of £2,880,000 (gross) is expected to be formally announced by the 3rd of August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in mediation and special education services. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) aiming to expand their service offerings within the public sector. The open procurement method makes it accessible to a broad range of businesses capable of providing high-quality mediation services, thereby enhancing their reputation and competencies in serving the educational needs of SEND children and their families. Interested businesses should prepare to engage with Birmingham City Council's Commercial and Procurement Services team to learn more about how they can contribute to this important initiative.
