SEN Placement - what does this mean?

My son is diagnosed autistic and although academically able mainstream isn’t working for him and a specialist placement is being sought. The specialist independent I have named as my preference in his EHCP has been consulted with and have agreed they can meet need but they are unable to say until spring time if they can offer him a place for September 2026.
Please can anyone help me understand what is going on here? What is the significance of spring time? How are placement decisions made? Thankyou!

Many have to appeal, but not all. LAs do sometimes agree non-s41 placements without a tribunal.
