DN540369 Placement Fees St John Vianney School

Tender description

Service Failure: The North West SEND Flexible Purchasing System for non-maintained and independent special schools (NMISS) led by Cheshire East went live on 1.3.21. The business case and cabinet report for Liverpool’s approval to join was submitted on 08.10.20. The sign off for this has not progressed so there is now no contract number for any NMISS placements and invoices cannot be processed. Procurement has advised that an exemption must be submitted. However, St John Vianney School has not signed up to the FPS and will require an ongoing exemption. SEND commissioned 1 placement at St John Vianney School. The placement was commissioned in academic year 20-21 and is a new placement, with Director's approval.
