To award a contract for a SEND Mediation and Disagreement Resolution service to Collis Mediation Ltd.
A contract for this service is required to ensure value for money in the delivery of the statutory requirement for a mediation service.
As this service is exempt from Procurement Regulations, the Authority had the freedom to design their own process.
It was decided to follow a competitive process in order to promote value for money. This led to 4 qualified and reputable suppliers applying, who were then evaluated by a panel, on both quality and price.
The provider who scored highest overall was awarded the contract
