Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nova Trust, also referred to as Nova Education Trust, is procuring an Inclusion Centre and behaviour service for its family of schools. The requirement is for a provider to deliver, manage and continuously develop services across one or more schools. The work combines targeted intervention, behaviour support, pastoral support and reintegration programmes for pupils at risk of suspension or permanent exclusion, disengagement from education, poor attendance or other barriers to learning. It is an education and pupil-support service, classified primarily as health and social work services (CPV 85000000), with education and training also included. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s schools, with a strong presence in the East Midlands and coverage across the United Kingdom.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 28 September 2026 at 10:00 BST. The contract is planned to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. Its estimated total value is £9,600,000 including the stated currency of GBP. Suppliers may provide the service across one or more schools within the Trust, rather than necessarily covering the entire school family. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is framed as a compliant, scalable and outcome-focused service, so bidders should address delivery, management, development and the support outcomes expected for pupils facing exclusion, disengagement, attendance and other learning barriers.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in inclusion, alternative provision, pupil behaviour, pastoral care and education support. Strong candidates are likely to have qualified staff able to deliver targeted interventions, manage behaviour-support work, provide pastoral support and design practical reintegration programmes. Relevant experience with pupils at risk of suspension or permanent exclusion, poor attendance, disengagement from education or other barriers to learning will be directly applicable. Providers should be able to operate across multiple school settings and demonstrate a scalable service model, consistent management and continuous improvement. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, creating scope for specialist education, youth-support, social-care or behavioural-service providers, including those able to work in partnership across schools. The service is intended to produce clear, outcome-focused support for pupils and schools.
