    Brief

    The Department for Education (DfE) is inviting organisations to join a voluntary supplier networking register to connect with potential collaborators for the upcoming SEND Reform Investments Evaluation procurement. This procurement will be launched in November through the Crown Commercial Service Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6126). Interested organisations can register using the online form to share their contact details and indicate consent for DfE to share these details with other registered suppliers on a weekly basis until the end of the tender clarification period. Participation is entirely optional and will not affect your eligibility or evaluation in any future procurement. DfE will not recommend, endorse, or match organisations – you will decide independently how to engage with other suppliers. This is pre-market engagement only and does not constitute a formal call for competition or tender invitation.
