Notice Title
Alternative Provision Services for Interventions for KS4 Provision
Notice Description
The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham is advertising to seek tenders from alternative provision providers for a new initiative supporting Key Stage 4 students who are at risk of permanent exclusion and require an alternative educational pathway. We are seeking registered alternative providers who are willing to commit to an initial one-year partnership to evaluate its success, as well as unregistered providers who are in the process of applying for a URN and who are temporarily willing to operate under the URN of a local secondary school will also be considered. This opportunity aims to offer tailored support for students for whom mainstream education is no longer a suitable option. The provision will deliver a bespoke curriculum mapped to mainstream standards, focusing on expectation of therapeutic and clinical input and staff supervision. The provision will offer core subjects, life skills, and vocational courses linked to the student interest. We are looking for providers with specialist staff experienced in alternative provision and inclusion, who can offer embedded pastoral support, including restorative practice and therapeutic input. Flexible pathways for reintegration to mainstream education, apprenticeships, or onward alternative education will also be central to this provision. Providers must be able to demonstrate an ability to develop and deliver meaningful, interventions for KS4 students to enable pupils to successfully return to school/education or to support prevention of NEET; working towards post-16 progression for those Y11 complex cases where a return to school is an impractical transition. The contract is for a period of 1 year Further information and tender documents are available on our e-tendering portal https://lbbd.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml Any questions regarding the tender should be addressed through the portal in the messaging section. Closing date Noon on 10th April 2026
