Specialist Early Years Education Service

Bath & North East Somerset Council is currently engaged in a recommissioning process for our Specialist Early Years Education Service. We would like to share our emerging 5-year commissioning plan, along with key requirements and timescales associated with the tendering process, during a market engagement event. This event will also allow us to discuss current and future priorities for supporting children aged 2-5 years with Special Educational Needs and/or Disability (SEND) and/or complex health needs, who require specialist support and expertise. We will be looking to identify providers with a track record of providing high-quality, innovative services in the Early Years Sector with particular expertise in SEND. We will be commencing a procurement process later in the year and will provide indicative dates at the event, to be confirmed when the procurement process commences. The event will take place on Monday 11th October 2021, 1 – 3 pm in the Kapsovar Room, The Guildhall, High Street, Bath, BA1 5AW.
