The initiative focuses on improving educational outcomes for vulnerable learners within the East of England. The tender, which falls under the category of Administrative educational services, employs a direct procurement method as a single tender action below threshold. The tender period concludes on 26 April 2019, while the contract is set to commence on 29 April 2019 and will run until 30 August 2019. Suppliers interested in this opportunity are encouraged to express their interest via email to procurementops@southend.gov.uk. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those that specialise in inclusivity and educational assessments. Companies with expertise in conducting diagnostics, stakeholder engagement, and change management within educational settings would be particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is open to their involvement, fostering a diverse array of service providers to contribute to the overall goal of enhancing inclusiveness within local schools. ## Notice As a Council we are determined to support schools to improve outcomes for all pupils, and in particular our more vulnerable learners. Currently we perform well as Borough, but this masks variability between schools. We are seeking to undertake a diagnostic "deep dive" into the way all schools consider their approach to supporting all learners, and especially the inclusiveness of schools for their own pupils and those within the Borough more widely. The basic question is "are the right children receiving the right education in the right school". This investigation will consider the emerging patterns of inclusion across all schools, and conduct a range of engagement events with stakeholders to seek wider views on emerging themes and patterns. Following this engagement, we will invite schools to consider the findings of the work and consider how they can support the recommendations. Ultimately, the final report would want to support schools to be more inclusive of their communities, and work with each other to ensure that all schools share a common and moral purpose in educating all of our residents.
