## Summary

Trafford Council is seeking to establish a Flexible Procurement System (FPS) for Alternative Provision services aimed at Looked After Children and those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The procurement process, classified under services, utilises an open procedure and is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 29th January 2020. The contract will commence on 2nd February 2020 and is expected to run until 31st December 2024, with a total estimated value of approximately £1.94 million. The tender covers multiple lots, including qualified and non-qualified tuition, teaching assistant support, and counselling services, situated in the North West of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and support services for children, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Providers of tutoring, mentoring, transport, and counselling are particularly well-suited to compete, given the diverse requirements of the lots outlined in the procurement. Engaging in this process could enhance service offerings, expand market reach, and contribute to the overall support of vulnerable children in the region.
