The contract is to be for a period of 3 years, with a possible extension of 2 years, subject to annual review. SPECIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS * Tenders are sought from suitably qualified firms for asset compliance and estate services for a period of 3 years, with a possible extension of 2 years, subject to annual review * The Inclusion Unit Provider will provide the services detailed below for Nicholas Chamberlaine School. * Success will be measured against criteria, such as the Griffin Great descriptors and agreed achievement outcomes. * The Inclusion Unit will reduce the need for costly alternative external placements, by addressing and supporting students' emotional and learning needs, and by managing any behavioural challenges in-house. * The Inclusion Unit will alleviate pressure on the school's Senior Leadership Team (SLT), enabling them to focus on the strategic priorities of the school by undertaking the responsibility for the daily management of the inclusion provision. * The provision will consist of a full service 4 person centre with a 1:5 staff/student ratio, facilitating up to 20 students. * The Inclusion Unit must represent a financially sustainable option, resulting in a reduced need for alternative Provision and further negate the need for permanent exclusions.
