The procurement stage is currently active, with a deadline for bid submission of 8th September 2023. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 31st March 2026. The contracting process aims to establish a pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System to cater to young people aged 16-25 with education, health, and care plans. This tender opportunity provides SMEs in the education and training sector a chance to participate in the provision of alternative provisions for post-16 education. Businesses focused on delivering education and training services targeted at young people with EHCPs can benefit from this opportunity. The initiative's aim is to address the educational needs of vulnerable individuals and create growth prospects for organisations offering specialised educational services. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council is setting up a pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Post-16 Alternative Provisions for Education and Training. Providers accepted onto the PDPS will provide education and training to meet the needs of young people with education health and care plans (EHCP's) between the ages of 16 and 25. It is intended that both Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and Peterborough City Council (PCC) will call-off this PDPS. The deadline to submit a bid for the first round of the PDPS is 12:00 on 8th September 2023. After that date, potential providers will be able to bid in subsequent rounds. The initial end date of the PDPS is 31st March 2026, with optional extensions up to 31st March 2029.
