## Summary

The Scottish Government awarded the contract for the independent chair of the Doran Review National Strategic Commissioning Group to MOSEL. The tender titled "Award of Independent Chair of Doran Review National Strategic Commissioning Group" falls under the services category and involves the phased transition of grant-aided special schools and national centres to full cost recovery by 2028-29. The tender period started on April 11, 2023, and ended on April 12, 2028.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses offering education and training services to compete for contracts in strategically planned and commissioned services for children and young people with complex additional support needs. Businesses with expertise in service management and strategic planning would be well-suited to compete in this procurement stage where MOSEL won the active contract as the independent chair within the sensitive transition period.

## Notice

The National Strategic Commissioning Group is undertaking work to implement the 2012 Doran Review's recommendations to deliver strategically planned and commissioned services and support for children and young people with complex additional support needs. This involves careful management of the phased transition for the 7 grant-aided special schools and 3 national centres, from grant funding to full cost recovery, by the end of the agreed transition period in 2028-29.Due to the sensitivity of this transition, the Doran Review Project Board agreed that in the interest of impartiality, a Chair, independent of the Scottish Government and all strategic stakeholders, should be appointed to lead and progress this work.
