The procurement stage is in the planning phase, with an engagement end date of 12th June 2023. The industry category is Education and training services, with additional classifications including Special education services and Health services. This opportunity is open for suppliers in England, United Kingdom, and is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. This tender by Buckinghamshire Council aims to create a Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle for various lots including Academic Tutors, Vocational, Bespoke alternative provision, and Therapies. It offers opportunities for businesses providing alternative education provision and therapies for children and young people with special needs. Suppliers interested in participating can shape the future procurement process by providing valuable input, supporting a sustainable market, and potentially securing contracts for delivering these specialized services in the region. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION AND NOT A TENDER PROCESS Buckinghamshire Council has a statutory duty to provide education for pupils who, have specifically defined Special Educational Needs as set out in their Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), and this may also include therapeutic input. The Council is looking to develop a Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) a hybrid between a dynamic purchasing system and a framework for children or young people who may not be able to access school or FE College and either require a new EHCP or a change to their existing EHCP. Suppliers will apply to join Lots on the DPV and, if successful in meeting the required thresholds, will be accepted onto the DPV. Individual packages of Non Registered Alternative Education Provision and Therapies will then be sourced through routes identified including mini competitions, and awarded accordingly. It is intended that the DPV will become the primary way for the Council to commission Non-Registered Alternative Education Provision and Therapies going forward. The DPV will be utilised for all new packages of Non Registered Alternative Education Provision and Therapies from the go live date. Any providers that the Council currently works with will need to apply to join the DPV to be able to bid for future packages of NonRegistered Alternative Education Provision and Therapies. Lot 1 Academic Tutors Lot 2 Vocational Lot 3 Bespoke alternative provision Lot 4 Therapies e.g OT,SALT, Physiotherapy Suppliers are invited to participate in this exercise by completing the attached questionnaire. This will help to inform the Council in understanding how best to shape the procurement and service models to meet the service needs for children and young people (0-25) whilst supporting a sustainable market from which to commission Non-Registered Alternative Education Provision and Therapies Additional information: https://www.supplybucksbusiness.org.uk/bucks/portal.nsf/content/DEVA-A4MR89 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f176028-fc5c-4046-ad99-6ac9af2de430 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 May 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 12 Jun 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80340000 - Special education services - 85100000 - Health services ## Release History - 30 May 2023 at 16:24 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f176028-fc5c-4046-ad99-6ac9af2de430 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9f176028-fc5c-4046-ad99-6ac9af2de430 30th May 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/ - https://www.supplybucksbusiness.org.uk/bucks/portal.nsf/content/DEVA-A4MR89 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
