Summary of the contracting process

Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has commissioned alternative education provision through its Tees framework. The requirement falls within education and training services and is intended to provide education for pupils outside mainstream provision. Delivery is in the North East of England, for the council’s area. Four providers were selected to deliver the provision: River Tees Multi-Academy Trust, Keys PCE Ltd, Progress Schools and Reintegreat Education Solutions. The procurement is a service call-off from an established framework, rather than a standalone purchase of goods or works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from the Tees Alternative Education Provision Framework. The award was made on 1 September 2026 to River Tees Multi-Academy Trust, Keys PCE Ltd, Progress Schools and Reintegreat Education Solutions, for a stated award value of £559,379. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The published information does not set out separate lots, detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the award basis beyond use of the framework call-off is not available to describe.

This award demonstrates demand from Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council for alternative education provision delivered through its Tees framework, with four providers selected for provision across the North East. The work is suited to education providers able to deliver education for pupils outside mainstream settings and to operate within the council’s framework call-off route. The four selected organisations include small and large suppliers, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. For comparable future work, credible competitors will need relevant alternative education delivery capability and the capacity to provide services locally. The award offers evidence of the provider market and scale of the council’s requirement; it does not establish that any particular accreditation, staffing model or delivery method was required. The contract period provides the reference point for understanding the requirement’s duration.
