This open procurement process allows interested service providers to apply for multiple lots, providing alternative education for young people at risk of exclusion. The tender was published on 10th September 2021, and applications will remain open until the deadline on 20th September 2021. The contract is set to commence on 16th November 2021 and will last until 31st July 2025, encompassing delivery across various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those focusing on alternative education models. Companies that can offer innovative solutions to support young people in need of alternative provisions are well positioned to thrive in this competitive landscape. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those looking to enhance their offerings or expand into new areas within the educational services market. ## Notice The Council wishes re-open the alternative education framework to new applications for all Lots and the enclosed Supplementary Invitation to Tender (ITT) document outlines the process to be followed. This is not a new procurement process; the terms, conditions and award criteria under the current framework remain in place. The service delivers a range of alternative approaches to providing access to education for young people who are excluded or at risk of exclusion, at risk of disengaging from mainstream school provision or otherwise require alternative education provision to meet their educational entitlement. Additional information: Walsall Council is opening applications to the Alternative Education Framework. Service Providers will have the opportunity to submit an application to one or more Lots under the framework and be awarded a place on the framework. This opportunity is open to new providers; providers already on the framework need not apply again but do have the opportunity to improve their price score if they wish. This project will be managed through Walsall Council's In-tend portal.
