DN550099 NMISS Fees

Tender description

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 for each provider, however Nugent House School has not joined the FPS and so the exemption must be submitted until the end of this financial year. SEND commissioned 2 placements at Nugent House School. The first placement was adopted from Knowsley in academic year 2019-20 for which an exemption has been submitted, the second is a new placement.
