This workshop is scheduled to take place on 28th February 2020, starting at 08:00 am at Committee Room 6, Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6ER. Interested providers must book their participation by 28th February 2020, offering a vital opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the future service model and engage in market understanding for the delivery of Alternative Provision within the borough. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those engaged in alternative education provisions and outreach services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate capability in innovative educational strategies, particularly those incorporating technology such as AV1 robots, would be well-suited to compete. This engagement workshop will not only inform potential bidders about the procurement approach and timeframe, but it will also allow them to shape a much-needed service in the region, ultimately fostering business growth in the education sector. ## Notice Friday 28th February Friday 08:00am for 08:15am start - 10:00am Committee Room 6, Civic Centre, Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, SS2 6ER Southend on See Borough Council is seeking to engage with Providers to gain an understanding of the capacity and appetite in the market to deliver Alternative Provision within the borough.
