Tender description

Liverpool City Council is required to provide disagreement resolution and mediation services in accordance with its statutory duties under the Children and Families Act 2014. These services include disagreement resolution, mediation advice, and mediation, each serving a distinct role within the legal framework. The services are delivered independently of the Council, ensuring impartiality and confidentiality. They offer families and young people an opportunity to resolve disputes at an early stage, helping to avoid formal legal proceedings and reducing the need for time consuming and costly appeals to the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Tribunal.

About the buyer

Liverpool City Council procures as a local authority for the city of Liverpool, with its approach set out in a published Sustainable Procurement Strategy. Lower-value purchases are usually handled through a direct quotation rather than a full tender.

Some health and social care commissioning instead follows the Provider Selection Regime.

Over the past 5 years, most of Liverpool City Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and software and information systems.
