Description
West Berkshire Council is reviewing its Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support (SENDIAS) offer and is undertaking early market engagement. We are holding a one-hour online market engagement event, to explore future delivery options. A virtual meeting will be held via Teams on Wednesday 16th July 2025 between 2:00pm–3:00pm. The session will include a short presentation outlining our current model, challenges, and ambitions, followed by themed discussions on service delivery, digital innovation, impartiality, and outcomes. This will be followed by an opportunity for potential bidders to share thoughts and feedback, identify barriers to bidding, and help shape our approach to commissioning or redesign. Please confirm your attendance to kiki.hurford1@westberks.gov.uk, who will then issue the link to the virtual meeting on 15th July 2025.
