This opportunity is aimed at gathering feedback from providers who deliver high-quality, tailored tuition support for children and young people who require additional educational support outside of mainstream school settings. This includes 1:1 or small group tuition, online, in-person and hybrid, in core subjects such as English, Maths, and Science, or other areas of the National Curriculum. We are particularly interested in understanding the range of services available, the potential costs, delivery models, and innovative approaches that providers can offer to meet the educational needs of pupils. The aim of this exercise is to ensure that any future procurement reflects the market's capacity and best practices. We are requesting feedback from experienced providers from the following key service area: a. SEND and SEMH specialisms b. National Curriculum tuition c. Online and in-person delivery options d. Innovative approaches to engaging pupils e. Flexible timetables and personalised learning plans f. Pricing models and fee structures To complete the survey please access it here https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/xb7rFUK7RU. Please provide your completed responses by Thursday 24th July 2025. Market engagement event In addition, the Royal Borough of Greenwich will be holding a market engagement event on Monday 28th July 2025 @ 10:30am - 11:30am. This event will be held on Microsoft Teams.
