Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Stoke-on-Trent City Council focuses on the alternative education provision for children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), aggregating into a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under the contract identifier CSC/2023/686. This process, categorised under the education and training services industry (CPV: 80000000), covers a variety of educational services through several lots, such as re-engagement, social inclusion, and permanent exclusion services stretching across early years to post-16 education. The procurement, conducted via a selective restricted procedure, was initiated in 2023 with the contract completion date slated for 31st July 2035, maintained within the Stoke-on-Trent region (UKG23). As of the latest award phases in 2026, active contracts were issued to multiple suppliers, highlighting the council's commitment to improving educational outcomes and fulfilling statutory duties for youth education.

The tender presents substantial opportunities for diverse educational service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to the dynamic procurement system's inherent flexibility and breadth. Organisations specialising in bespoke educational programmes, SEND-specific training, and integration into mainstream education systems are well-suited to participate. The continued engagement and award of multiple suppliers, such as YMCA North Staffordshire, and Kindre Unites Ltd, suggest a robust potential for businesses to thrive under this arrangement, encouraging innovation and the provision of targeted educational solutions that cater to varying developmental needs and facilitate effective school reintegration or preparation for adulthood.
