Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "CPU7194 - Alternative Education Provision," initiated by Nottingham City Council, is situated in Nottingham, UK. This involves services related to health and social work, funded by ESFA, specifically targeting alternative education provision. Initially in the planning stage with a planned contract period from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2031, this tender process was designed to facilitate the brokerage and execution of alternative education services. However, it was subsequently withdrawn as of 27th January 2026, as indicated by a tender cancellation notice. Though initially announced in the planning phase on 9th May 2025, the tender progression was cancelled due to it no longer being required.

This procurement process, although currently cancelled, was a significant opportunity for businesses involved in education services, particularly those aligned with health and social care categories. SMEs and VCSEs were considered suitable to participate, indicating an intention to engage a diverse range of suppliers. Future opportunities may arise in this sector, where businesses specialising in educational service provision can align their capabilities to meet similar demands. Keeping abreast of council tenders could provide insights and preparation time for businesses aiming to expand their operations in public service contracts.
