Notice Title

CS0877 South West & South Central Flexible Framework for Independent/ Non-Maintained Special Schools

Notice Description

It is the intention of the Participating Authorities to establish a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure placements for children/young people/young adults with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) in Independent and Non-Maintained Special Schools (INMSS) and Specialist Post-16 Providers which fall within the light-touch regime (LTR - PCR 2015 Regulations 74-77). The Pseudo DPS will in many respects look and feel like a DPS set up under PCR 2015 Regulation 34, but the flexibility of the LTR will apply. None of the formal procedural rules have any direct application including the requirements of Regulation 34. Wiltshire Council makes this distinction to avoid implying that it will follow, or be bound by, the full procurement regime under PCR 2015 for this procurement.
