## Summary

Bristol City Council is conducting an open tender process for the creation of an Approved Provider List for therapy, mentoring, and tutoring services aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category with a total contract value of £16,300,000. The tender period concludes on 1st August 2022, with the contract expected to start on 1st September 2022 and run until 31st August 2025. The relevant services will be primarily commissioned by the local authority and schools within Bristol, located in the South West of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for service providers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their operations in the education sector. By joining the list of approved providers, businesses can engage directly with local authority and school procurement processes, supplying critical services that support educational attainment and participation for disadvantaged groups. Companies with expertise in educational support, therapy, or mentoring will find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Bristol City Council is seeking to appoint a wide range of providers to deliver high quality therapy, mentoring and tutoring support that will increase educational attainment and participation for children and young people with special educational needs and contribute to narrowing the attainment gaps between different groups of pupils. The aim of this Approved Provider List (APL) is to facilitate open and transparent purchasing of therapy, mentoring and tutoring, purchased to support the strategic aims and outcomes set out in this document, and to deliver consistent quality, value for money and monitoring. These services are primarily commissioned by two bodies: the Local Authority and the child/young person's school. It is the Local Authorities ambition that all Schools within Bristol will use the Approved Provider List to purchase the services.
