This initiative falls under the social work and health services category, aimed at supporting students aged 6 to 16 who exhibit challenging behaviours that may lead to exclusion from mainstream education. The tender is currently open and published, with a deadline for expressions of interest by 12 noon on Wednesday, 14 March 2018. The anticipated contract start date is 1 April 2018, and the contract duration extends until 31 March 2019. The estimated value of the contract is £160,000, and the procurement method adopted is an open procedure, allowing various organisations to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for service providers in the educational, social work, and health sectors, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that specialise in educational support and rehabilitation. Businesses that can offer tailored educational services, manage behavioural issues, or provide safe environments for at-risk students would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement could enhance service offerings and contribute to the well-being of vulnerable children in the community. ## Notice Students aged from age 6 -16 who are presenting very challenging behaviours in school, placing them at a high risk of permanent exclusion. These students would be displaying violent and aggressive behaviour towards themselves, other pupils and/or members of staff at a level that makes it impossible to currently contain them in a mainstream setting, despite a high level of support. In some cases this will include children where the local authority is in the process of finding a suitable school placement to meet identified needs, those who require a mixture of school-based and out-of-school education or children new to the Local Authority whose educational history indicate that they will need a period of assessment before a suitable long term education placement can be chosen. Some of the children referred may also be at serious risk of harm from exploitation or anti-social behaviour. The objective of these services is to ensure that: * Children can access education appropriate to their level of needs. * Children engage with education, improve their attendance and ability to succeed in a mainstream or specialist provision. * Children are supported to develop a range of skills that reduce their risk of exclusion and improve their integration in education * Wherever possible, children will ultimately return to school full time The anticipated contract start date is: Sunday, 01 April 2018 The estimated value of the contract is: PS160,000.00 Total Cost Organisations wishing to express their interest are requested to register on the London Tenders Portal (www.londontenders.org) where the tender documentation will be available for download.
