Hull City Council (The Authority) has sought tenders from interested organisations to provide SEND Outreach Services split into 4 lots. The tender was an open consisting of a one stage process. The contract is anticipated to commence 1st September 2025 ending by 31st August 2027 with an option to extend for a period of 3 x 12 month periods. The Authority has estimated the value of the Services to be £811,500 per annum. The estimated value is given in good faith to assist tenderers in making their submissions, it should not be interpreted as an undertaking to purchase any goods, services or works to any particular value by the Authority and does not form part of the Contract. Further information is contained within the tender documentation. Lot 4 - Social Emotional Mental Health Needs (Secondary) was not awarded and therefore will be retendered in due course.
