Lot Information
National Tutoring Programme - Delivery partner(s) from AY 2022/23
The Authority is seeking to appoint a delivery partner to deliver the requirements set out above, which will contribute to the delivery of the National Tutoring Programme. The Programme is intended to support pupils, in particular disadvantaged pupils, to recover from learning loss experienced during the pandemic. This will be achieved by providing pupils with intensive support delivered by skilled tutors, on a one-to-one basis or in groups of up to six pupils. There is clear evidence that tutoring has a substantial positive impact on education outcomes, as a complement to excellent classroom teaching. The programme has seen over 1 million tutoring packages delivered since its launch in summer 2020. During AY21/22 a significant proportion of tutoring has been via the new school-led route, which has involved schools being provided with funding to subsidise the cost of delivery. We are building on this for AY22/23 by providing schools with a total of PS350m in NTP funding, which they can use to subsidise up to 60% of the cost of tutoring. Schools will also receive NTP funding directly in AY23/24, though with the subsidy reduced to 25%. Schools will receive support from the Authority, including via our new digital service through which they will be able to find high-quality, local tutoring organisations. Alongside this, we are seeking a delivery partner to deliver the recruitment and deployment element of the programme. Our delivery partner will support schools to spend their NTP funding effectively on a tutoring offer that suits the needs of their pupils. The element of the programme for which we are seeking a delivery partner is as follows: - Recruitment and deployment of Academic Mentors: our delivery partner will recruit a pool of well-qualified Academic Mentors for deployment to schools that request them. Recruitment will involve a rigorous assessment process that secures the best quality candidates. Deployment will involve an efficient process that sees AMs quickly assigned to schools, possibly with particular schools or areas being prioiritised to receive an AM.

Applicants who are unsuccessful shall be informed by the Authority as soon as possible after the decision has been made as to the reasons why the Applicant was unsuccessful. If any clarification regarding the award of the Contract has not been successfully resolved, The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015 No. 102) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by breach of the rules to take legal action. Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If a contract has been entered into the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the contract be shortened. The purpose of the voluntary standstill period referred to above is to allow the parties to apply to the Courts to set aside the award decision before the Contract is entered into."
