Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council is currently overseeing the tender process for a contract titled "Contract for the Provision of Key Stage 4 Day 6 Services," which falls under the industry category of secondary education services. This procurement is at the award stage and concerns the provision of necessary educational arrangements for learners who have been permanently excluded from school. The contract is set to run for a duration of two academic years with an option to extend for an additional three years, originally starting on 1st September 2017 and continuing until 31st August 2019, with most recent amendments extending the duration. The relevant location for service delivery is Kirklees, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for educational service providers, particularly those specialising in alternative education and reintegration support for excluded students. Businesses offering tailored programmes and comprehensive learner support are particularly suited to compete for this contract, as the Council requires a provider that can effectively cater to the needs of up to 17 learners at any one time. Furthermore, companies prepared to navigate the complexities of delivering inclusive education services and addressing varied learner requirements will find this tender to be a viable means of expanding their service offerings within the educational sector.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

The contracting authority requires appropriate alternative arrangements for the provision of education of the original 12 places plus an additional 5 places for Day 6 provision following a permanent exclusion in KS4, for a period of 2 academic years and with an option to extend for a further 3 academic years. The contract period of from 1st September 2017 to 31st August 2019 (with an option to extend by three further years). Day 6 provision must be fully inclusive and cover the areas defined in the revised Service Specification, as per the variation issued in July 2021. The specification was updated for 2021/22 to: - redefine and clarify the service provider's responsibilities, - revise the services required, outcomes achieved and KPIs for curriculum activity, promoting & supporting services and meeting learner needs, and - incorporate pupil outcome targets. During 2021/22 the contract provides for up to 17 learners requiring access to full-time education from Day 6 of their absence from school primarily as a result of permanent exclusion. Where overall occupancy of Day 6 provision exceeds 17 full time places, the LA require the provider to allow occupancy to increase where higher needs may exist and additional provision is required according to local need. Any additional places will be charged at the agreed standard 20 week placement cost. Where learner support arrangements do not require the full-time placement over 20 weeks, the required reintegration support will be provided to the learner where it is appropriate to do so according to placement review through the Fair Access Panel and where individual assessment outcomes determine. E.g. Where a learner requires 15 weeks of provision, the remaining 5 weeks of provision support is provided and invested in specialist reintegration support to secure the learner's successful return to mainstream school. The specific nature of the reintegration support required by learners is to be determined through co-productive planning with the student, receiving mainstream school, parent/carers and other key stakeholders. Where learner support arrangements require over and above a 20 week Day 6 placement, early assessment outcomes provided by the provider will indicate this by week 4 of the learner placement and in agreement with the LA, further specialist assessment or referral for EHCN assessment may be the appropriate next step to undertake co-productively with the learner and their family. The provider will follow the local referral process for EHCNA. Any extension to provision within a PIVOT setting will be agreed on the understanding that provision remains well-matched to learner needs and will be subject to pro-rata costings monthly according to the requirement for provision beyond Day 6. An estimate of costs for extended placement at PIVOT will be required by the LA by week 12.
