## Summary

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Primary Preventative Placements Pilot" aimed at providing educational placements for children at risk of permanent exclusion in Dudley. This open tender process, which concluded on 30th July 2021, has awarded contracts to Sycamore Short Stay School and The Regis Academy (The Albion Foundation) for services classified under education and training, with a total value of £185,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1st September 2021 and will run until 31st August 2022, serving children who require alternative educational support due to their challenges in mainstream schooling.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses in the education and social work sectors, particularly for organisations specialising in alternative education provisions, interventions for emotional and behavioural needs, and tailored curriculum development. Providers with experience in educational support services, particularly those familiar with short-term placements and dual registration processes, are well-positioned to engage in similar contracts. The demand for innovative and effective educational solutions allows businesses to establish impactful partnerships with local councils and institutions, fostering community engagement and expanding their service offerings.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to work with Dudley schools, academies and external providers to procure full time Primary Preventative Placements for children, living in Dudley who are at risk of permanent exclusion. These placements would be for children who had been identified through Dudley's Inclusive Pathway and who are currently unsuccessful in accessing a mainstream classroom learning environment. They require an alternative type of provision, with an appropriate and relevant curriculum including some specific intervention work to build self-regulation, resilience and emotional health and well-being. The placements will be short term (up to two terms / 25 weeks) and the children will be dual registered remaining on the register of their home school. The vast majority of children will return back to their home school at the end of the placement. The minority, following the outcome of any EHCP assessment may be placed in a different setting.
