Peterborough City Council are inviting providers of Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) Mediation and Disagreement Resolution (M&DR) services for children and young people to complete this soft market testing exercise.  This will help inform Commissioners of the level of interest and experience organisations delivering mediation and disagreement resolution services and will help inform how best to commission this service.
Potential providers are invited to respond to the questions concerning the proposed service to be procured. Responses to these questions may be used to inform our commissioning approach to the tender exercise. In order to make an informed decision on the optimum procurement approach we are looking to the market to assist.
