Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned full-time alternative learning provision for 50 young people in Key Stage 4. The service is intended to provide education and learning for young people who need an alternative to mainstream provision. Delivery is in Bristol, in the South West of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Learning Partnership West. The award was made on 26 October 2026, for £1,731,960. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender estimated a value between £1,443,300 and £1,731,960. The submission deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is described as “Other”; no evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying full-time alternative provision for 50 Key Stage 4 places, a focused education-services requirement. Learning Partnership West, the selected supplier, is identified as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise. For a future requirement of this kind, relevant suppliers would need to demonstrate that they can provide alternative learning provision for young people at this scale. The procurement is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so organisations in either group are relevant comparators for this buyer’s requirement.
