Summary of the contracting process

Respect Collaboration Trust procured alternative education focused on land management for children of compulsory school age who, because of suspension, exclusion or other circumstances, would otherwise lack suitable education. The service includes providing appropriate placements, with places purchased according to individual pupil requirements and provider capacity. Some core places may be arranged regularly, while other placements are arranged as needed. The requirement covers education and training services, including curriculum delivery, progress and outcomes tracking, attendance management, behavioural and safeguarding management, quality assurance and compliance. Work is delivered across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire for Respect Collaboration Trust, a public education organisation based in Derby. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise providers.

The procurement is complete and awarded following an open procedure. One contract was awarded to Cast Angling Projects Community Interest Company on 6 July 2026 for £200,000 net, £220,000 gross including tax. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with rolling annual renewals for up to five years and options for additional purchases. Tenders closed on 22 May 2026, with the award period ending on 1 June 2026. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Quality covered service offer, location, staff qualifications and experience, course provision, progress, attendance, behaviour, safeguarding, quality assurance and policies. One bid was received and one supplier was awarded the contract.

This award indicates demand for specialist alternative education providers able to deliver land-management-based learning for vulnerable pupils, while adapting placements to individual needs and available capacity. A credible competitor would need experienced, suitably qualified staff, a structured curriculum, reliable attendance and progress tracking, and clear evidence of pupil outcomes. Strong safeguarding, behavioural management, supervision and reintegration arrangements would be important, alongside robust quality assurance, policy compliance, reporting and data protection. Providers should be able to demonstrate relevant education or training contracts from the previous three years, with references capable of confirming delivery. The requirement also points to the need for reliable operational staffing and transport arrangements, appropriate insurance cover, health and safety controls, risk assessments, and the ability to evidence accreditation, performance and continuous improvement.
