Summary of the contracting process

The Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, operating under Welsh devolved regulations, has initiated a tender for the provision of home tuition and online teaching services. This procurement falls under public authority - sub-central government, focusing on the education industry, specifically primary and secondary education services within the UKL16 region of the United Kingdom. The current stage is the tender phase, and interested parties have until 15th June 2026 to submit enquiries, with the final submission deadline set for 19th June 2026. The contract budget is set at £150,000 with a gross value of £180,000, and services are expected to begin on 1st September 2026, concluding by 30th July 2027, with the possibility of a 12-month extension.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand within the educational sector. Given the tender's focus on education for children unable to attend school due to health needs or other reasons, companies specialising in educational services and those with expertise in remote or hospital-based education provision would find this project particularly pertinent. The open competition approach allows qualified businesses of all sizes to present competitive bids based on quality and cost, giving equal emphasis to technical competence and pricing strategies.

Notice Title

The Provision of Home Tuition/Online Teaching Services within Blaenau Gwent

Notice Description

The Local Authority is responsible for ensuring that pupils with health needs are not at home or in hospital for more than 15 working days without access to education: this may be consecutive or cumulative with the same medical condition. If the pupil is a patient at hospital, they will usually receive education on the ward from the onsite Hospital Teacher as soon as they are fit enough to do so. Effective liaison with medical professionals will ensure that there is a minimum of delay in starting appropriate support for those pupils not admitted to hospital. The Local Authority will arrange suitable education for children of compulsory school age who, because of illness or other reasons e.g. exclusions, would otherwise not receive suitable education at school.
