## Summary

The procurement process, managed by Sheffield City Council, involves the acquisition of Alternative Provision (AP) programmes aimed at assisting the academic, social, and emotional development of referred pupils. The initiative, titled "KS3 and/or KS4 Interventions for the Alternative Provision Programme," falls under the Education and Training services industry category. The procurement has moved to the award stage, with key dates including the tender end period on 6th June 2024, contract start on 2nd September 2024, and completion on 31st July 2025. These educational interventions are intended for delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber region, specifically for school-age learners in danger of disengagement. The procurement method adopted was an unspecified 'Other' approach, and the entire initiative is valued at £95,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those experienced in alternative educational programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with strong capabilities in managing short-term, impactful educational interventions would be well-suited to compete. Successful bidders, such as Red Everywhere and Outcome Oasis Learning, stand to benefit from established relationships with Sheffield City Council, which has a long history of running AP programmes. This initiative caters to diverse learner needs through bespoke interventions aligned closely with school and local authority requirements, establishing a platform for sustained business engagement and service provision excellence.

## Notice

We are seeking to purchase a range of Alternative Provision (AP) programmes. These should be delivered through interventions from potential suppliers which will assist referred pupils' academic, social, and emotional development. Programmes should meet the needs of the learners and will be designed to deliver appropriate experiences, skills acquisition and the undertaking of relevant outcomes as co-determined with the referring school or agency. The programmes will vary where appropriate as AP delivers short term interventions which are supported by school for the remainder of the week, as AP cannot deliver all or substantially all of a pupil's education. The AP will provide learning opportunities in the form of short-term interventions with mapped and clearly agreed opportunities for learning in collaboration with the school. Sheffield City Council has been running programmes of Alternative Provision for over fifteen years. These programmes are aimed at providing off-site provision for learners of all abilities, including those who are not actively engaged in education and those who are in danger of disengaging and becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) post-16. Demand for the programme is entirely led by schools and the Local Authority for school age learners on whose behalf Access and Inclusion procure, contract manage and quality assure a diverse range of provisions from an approved network of suitably experienced and qualified providers across the city.
