Specifically, the procurement process targets providing in-person, virtual, and mentoring support services to promote educational outcomes. The Council will hold a Pre-Market Engagement Event on 9th July 2025 via Microsoft Teams, and providers interested in attending must notify the authority by 8th July 2025. This initiative falls under the public authority - sub-central government category, with Bradford, UK as the location, and the anticipated contract period runs from 30th November 2025 to 29th November 2029.

Companies offering one-to-one tuition and mentoring support, both in-person and remotely, stand to benefit from a framework agreement geared towards enhancing educational provisions for children with unique educational needs. The anticipation of a substantial framework value, with a gross amount of £1,948,800, and the multi-year contract term of four years, offers a sustainable business relationship with the Council. Enterprises positioned to deliver bespoke educational interventions to avoid exclusions and support off-site schooling would be particularly well-suited to compete for this framework, helping them expand their influence in the educational sector.
