UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is undertaking a public procurement process to deliver primary phase alternative provision services in Bridlington. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a market engagement event scheduled on 11 December 2025. Interested parties can provide feedback to refine the aspects of the tender. The initiative aims to establish an outreach service and a bespoke school, catering to around twelve pupils, with the council providing the necessary property. This process, initiated as a tender, is set within the industry category of primary education services and covers locations within the United Kingdom. The estimated contract value is £800,000, and the service falls under the 'light touch' regime, above threshold, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, with the contract period anticipated to begin on 1 September 2026 and may extend to 31 July 2028.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with expertise in primary education within the Bridlington area. The engagement with East Riding of Yorkshire Council allows businesses to influence the scope and details of the services required, potentially leading to a long-term partnership. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, providing an excellent opportunity to demonstrate capabilities in creating and managing bespoke educational environments. Businesses familiar with outreach programmes and bespoke educational provision in the primary education sector will be well-suited to participate in this tender, fostering growth and expanding their footprint within public service contracts.
