Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has completed the procurement process for the Education other than at School (EOTAS) Programme, focusing on education and training services in Torbay, UK (region UKK42). The initiative involved awarding contracts under an open procedure to provide holistic educational services for children and young people outside of traditional school settings. The procurement was divided into four lots: Core Curriculum Education, Community Inclusion and Preparing for Adulthood, Aspiration Framework, and Therapeutic Framework. The contract awards were finalised on 5th June 2025, and key suppliers include Progression Services, The Children's Society, and several community interest companies, reflecting a commitment to enhancing educational services within the region. The main criterion for selection was quality, weighted at 80% in the evaluation process, emphasising the importance of maintaining high standards in service delivery.

The completion of the EOTAS Programme presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for service providers specialising in education, community development, and therapeutic interventions. The awarded suppliers comprise a mix of SMEs and larger organisations, indicating potential collaboration across different business sizes. Businesses that can offer innovative educational frameworks or therapeutic approaches are well-suited to leverage such opportunities. Furthermore, the provision of diverse services through this programme can lead to the sustainable development of new educational models, which are increasingly demanded in various educational settings across the UK. This procurement offers a platform for suppliers to expand their service offerings and enhance their profile in the public sector.
