Notice Information

Notice Title

ESCC Education Division Approved Provider List (EDAPL)

Notice Description

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) is seeking applications from suitably qualified providers in order to become Approved Providers of the Education Division Approved Provider List (EDAPL). The EDAPL will enable the procurement of services from external providers to support the Council's Education Division's objective of driving improvements in East Sussex schools, academies, colleges and other educational settings. The contract start date is 01 October 2024 and the contract end date is 30 September 2028. Applications are welcome at any time. The Contracts Finder notice template will not allow the submission date to be after the contract start date, hence why the dates above differ. Please go by the dates in this description. If Applicants will only be able to work virtually, please note that the Education Division would like someone to be able to work in a hybrid capacity. For those not based in the U.K. there is a concern that if individuals have not had experience in working in a school in the UK, they may not have the appropriate knowledge (of UK school governance structures, or UK school curriculum and assessment), or qualifications required for the roles, and therefore wouldn't be able to support the schools effectively. The Division is seeking consultants and providers who can deliver on any, or all, of the following areas: (i) Provide training and support to schools and settings to improve outcomes for all pupils, including support for: leadership, interim leadership support, governance, staff development, curriculum development, moderation and assessment, pedagogy, behaviour, and attendance. (ii) Undertake roles associated with the local authority's statutory powers of intervention as outlined in the Department for Education's Schools Causing Concern Guidance (as updated). (iii) Undertake reviews and provide challenge and support to leaders and managers in educational settings and across local partnerships. (iv) Independent chair roles, and interim governance roles, to support the development of a range of education partnerships. (iv) Provide support to identified schools and settings to ensure effective safeguarding arrangements. (v) Research and evaluation of effective practice and development of new models and approaches across the range of the Division's work and priorities. (vi) Support for the development and implementation of new strategies. (vii) Project and leadership support across the range of the Division's work and priorities. There will be no cap on the number of Approved Providers, who can apply at any time, and more than once, until they are successful. It is anticipated that the annual aggregate expenditure under the EDAPL will be up to PS1,000,000. The EDAPL will be in place for four years, with an option to extend for up to two years. There is no minimum or maximum duration for call-off contracts, and they may expire after the expiry of the EDAPL. Additional information: The Closing Date is not 30 September 2024 but 30 September 2028 as applications can be submitted at any point whilst the Approved List is open, however the Contracts Finder template does not allow a Closing Date later than the Contract Start Date.
