Purpose

This decision relates to the wider Special
Educational Needs and Disability Information, Advice and Support
Service (SENDIASS) contract which was awarded on 1st April
2023.
The ICB and South Gloucestershire Council agreed to increase their
funding for this contract. As Bristol City Council is the lead
commissioner, the other local authorities and the ICB pay us their
contributions and we pay the provider. The original decision to
commission the service delegates authority to the Executive
Director to approve variations to the contract. This decision will
enable us to vary the contract and pass on this funding to the
provider.
