The focus is on improving pupil engagement and inclusion within the education sector, specifically in Wolverhampton. This procurement falls under the education and training services category and is valued at £20,000,000. The tender period is set to end on 9th November 2021, with a contract period starting from 4th January 2022 to 31st August 2023, and a potential extension until 31st August 2025. The framework includes four distinct lots catering to various educational needs for both primary and secondary school pupils. This opportunity presents excellent potential for businesses in the education services sector, particularly those providing specialised educational support, social work, or related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) should consider applying, as the framework is designed to accommodate a diverse range of service providers. By participating, providers can position themselves within a flexible framework that is regularly reviewed and reopened, allowing them to expand their offerings and impact on educational support in the region. ## Notice The City of Wolverhampton Council is seeking to commission a range of AP providers which drive, support and improve pupils' engagement and inclusion whilst promoting choice and delivering best value for money. The aim is that there will be a range of provisions that can meet the diverse range of needs and circumstances of children and young people. The Service Model will be established as a rolling flexible framework under the Light Touch Regime as set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The Framework will develop as required and it will re-open periodically to enable new providers who meet the evaluation criteria to join. Existing providers on the Framework will remain on the Framework under the provisions of their individual Framework Agreement and they will not be required to re-join at each round. This Framework will be accessible by both the City of Wolverhampton Council and state education providers in Wolverhampton (listed here). The Service Model consists of four lots: * Lot 1: Primary phase provision for permanently excluded pupils * Lot 2: Primary phase inclusion and engagement * Lot 3: Secondary phase provision for permanently excluded students * Lot 4: Secondary phase inclusion and engagement Providers can bid to deliver provisions across a single lot or multiple lots.
