UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned education and training services from GCP Strategies as part of an Education Otherwise Than At School (EOTAS) package for a child or young person with an Education, Health and Care Plan. The requirement is for individual education provision connected to that package, rather than a general education service. Delivery is in North Yorkshire, England. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and covers services; the published description does not give further detail about the teaching programme, subjects, delivery setting or intensity. The buyer is the council, and the selected provider is an SME based in Ilkley.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. GCP Strategies was selected. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 23 July 2027. Its value is £60,480 excluding VAT (£72,576 including VAT). The process comprised one lot. The published procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria: this was a non-competitive award rather than an evaluation of competing bids. The award relates to education and training services delivered in North Yorkshire for the EOTAS package.

For providers of specialist education, this award demonstrates North Yorkshire Council’s demand for education delivered as part of an EOTAS package for a child or young person with an EHCP. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to provide suitable individual education services and demonstrate the ability to meet the needs set out in the learner’s plan. The contract was delivered by an SME, indicating that this type of provision can be supplied by a specialist smaller provider. The requirement is focused on education rather than broad council services; relevant experience in tailored education provision would therefore be more pertinent than general training capability. The council used a direct award without competition in this instance, so the award does not establish a competitive evaluation model for future requirements.
