Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Bath and North East Somerset Council titled "Hospital Education Reintegration Service" aims to facilitate access to quality education for children unable to attend mainstream schools due to health needs. This project falls under the health and social work services category and is being handled through a limited procurement method involving negotiation without prior publication of a contract notice. The contract has recently been awarded, signed on 17th May 2022, with a primary focus on ensuring that schools effectively support students with medical requirements.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations that specialise in educational services, particularly those adept in delivering innovative and personalised approaches for vulnerable children with special educational needs. Entities that previously expressed interest but did not submit bids may find this a fruitful chance to engage with the Council, as the contract allows for extensions, potentially fostering collaborations that improve educational access for affected children.

Notice Title

Hospital Education Reintegration Service

Notice Description

The HERS is not viewed as a preferable long term alternative to mainstream education provision.

Procurement Information

An open tender process was undertaken. One tender was received but this was rejected as non-compliant; it did not deliver the requirements of the specification around delivery of a blended learning offer (i.e. a combination of face to face, virtual and online learning opportunities). Following negotiation with an alternative provider, who had engaged previously, but did not submit a bid, contract award has been agreed. The provider had not submitted a bid, as they did not believe they could deliver the service within the financial envelope set by the Authority. During negotiation it became apparent that the provider had not taken into account the income element associated with delivery of the contract. Once this had been appropriately factored in the provider was able to confirm a contract price within the financial envelope. The Council will fund one-off capital (IT) costs where required for set-up of the service, with contract dependent upon the capacity of the service, as detailed in the original Invitation to Tender. Following engagement with the Department of Education the capacity of the service was capped to 110 placements.
