This open procurement process, classified under "Technical and vocational secondary education services," is currently active and will accept bids until 5th October 2018. The selected provision aims to address the increasing number of permanent exclusions from schools in the region, which has risen from 64 in 2015-16 to 104 in 2017-18, with a particular focus on providing academic accreditation opportunities to affected students. The contract period is set from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those experienced in alternative education programmes, vocational training, and youth services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, as the procurement is designed to cater to a diverse range of providers who can assist in meeting the educational needs of vulnerable children. Interested businesses must register with the CSW-JETS e-tendering platform to participate in this process. ## Notice In line with Education Strategy (2018-2022), Warwickshire County Council are seeking tenders from suitably experienced and qualified organisations with the intention of creating a multi provider framework to support the provision of Alternative Education for children of statutory school age. Whilst it will seek to meet the needs of all children and young people requiring Alternative Education support there will be an emphasis on students being provided with the opportunity to achieve academic accreditation, particularly in English and maths. The number of permanent exclusions from Warwickshire schools has continued to rise; in 2015- 16 there were 64, in 2016-17 there were 76 and 2017-18 104 permanent exclusions (from 76 to 104 ). The age of the children excluded ranges from 4 to 16. In the past, 14 - 16 year olds tended to be the most prevalent group, 2013-14 saw a worrying number of younger children (of primary age) being permanently excluded. The male / female split varies year on year, but males are always in the majority.
