Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is initiating a tender for the "Alternative Learning Framework" aimed at supporting children and young people with alternative education needs within the health and social work services industry category.

The framework is expected to operate from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2027, with a proposed maximum value of £2.6 million per annum.

The collaborative approach with neighbouring local authorities may further enhance potential revenues, making this an attractive opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolio within the education sector.

Leaving ALP This will be delivered through three distinct contract lots for providers to join, that can be commissioned by both Bristol City Council and Bristol schools, although final specifications will be dependent on the outcome of the public consultation on the draft ALP commissioning strategy: * Lot 1: Full-time and revolving-door ALP (registered schools only) * Lot 2: Part-time ALP * Lot 3: In-school support Providers that successfully join the framework will be included on the Provision of Alternative Learning System catalogue.
