Summary of the contracting process

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council procured alternative education provision for two full-time-equivalent placements. The service falls within education and training services and is intended to provide an alternative educational setting for learners who require this type of provision. Delivery is in the North East of England. The appointed provider, Education Plus NE Ltd, is based in Durham. This is a services requirement for organisations able to deliver structured alternative education rather than mainstream classroom provision. Relevant providers may include specialist education organisations, independent alternative provision settings and other organisations experienced in supporting learners outside conventional school arrangements. The council is the buyer and the requirement is specific to its local education needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Education Plus NE Ltd on 29 May 2024 through a direct award. The tender submission deadline was 28 May 2024. The award value was £91,000. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2027. The requirement covers two full-time-equivalent placements. The recorded procurement category is services, with education and training services as the subject area. The award is active and the selected supplier is Education Plus NE Ltd. The published process records a direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the outcome identifies the supplier and the agreed value and delivery period.

For providers that did not secure this contract, the award demonstrates a defined local demand for alternative education placements in Redcar and Cleveland, delivered in the North East. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide two full-time-equivalent places and demonstrate the operational ability to support learners through specialist alternative education rather than general mainstream teaching. The successful organisation is an SME, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Relevant capability includes an established alternative education setting, appropriately skilled education staff, learner support arrangements and the capacity to deliver consistent provision for the full contract term. Providers should also understand the council’s local education context and referral requirements.
