UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned education services as part of an EOTAC package for a child or young person with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The requirement is for specialist education provision tailored to an individual learner, rather than a general education service. The work falls within special education services and is located in North Yorkshire, England. The contract was awarded to AD ASTRA (BROADENING HORIZONS) LIMITED, a York-based supplier. This requirement reflects the council’s use of externally provided specialist education to support a young person’s needs through an EOTAC package.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. AD ASTRA (BROADENING HORIZONS) LIMITED was selected. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 23 July 2027. Its value is £39,827.04 excluding VAT (£47,792.45 including VAT). The award data classifies the service as special education, but does not state a separate scoring or evaluation basis. No competitive selection process is recorded; the award was made directly to the named provider.

For suppliers considering similar individual education packages for The North Yorkshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist provision supporting a child or young person with an EHCP. A credible provider would need to deliver education tailored to an individual learner within an EOTAC package, with the capability to meet the relevant educational needs throughout the required service period. The awarded supplier is based in York and is classified as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider can deliver this type of requirement. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the award illustrates a buyer requirement and an existing provider’s fit rather than an open competitive evaluation. Experience in individualised special education delivery would be directly relevant when competing for comparable council requirements.
