## Summary

The Essex County Council is conducting a tender for the provision of an Interim Online School for permanently excluded children and those requiring short-term education support. The contract value is £919,200, with a tender deadline of 12th December 2023. The contract period is from 31st January 2024 to 31st January 2026. The procurement method is an open procedure under the category of Education and training services. The buying organisation is Essex County Council located in Chelmsford, England.

This tender by Essex County Council offers opportunities for online education suppliers to support excluded pupils in KS1 - KS4 and those needing short-term education. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus areas are English, Maths, and Science, providing a chance for relevant businesses to contribute to fulfilling statutory education duties and supporting children in need.

## Notice

The Education Access Team is responsible for ensuring Essex County Council (ECC) meets its statutory duty to provide suitable education for permanently excluded children from the sixth day of exclusion. Exceptionally, the Education Access Team may also support children who require short term interim education whilst longer term placement decisions are being considered. We are seeking an online education supplier to provide an immediate online education provision to: a. pupils in KS1 - KS4 following their permanent exclusion. b. pupils who require short term interim education whilst longer term placement decisions are being considered. The provision will be short-term focussing on English, Maths, and Science. The procurement is designed to ensure that ECC is compliant with its statutory duty to provide education following permanent exclusion and will also support children who require short term interim education whilst longer term placement decisions are being considered. Following permanent exclusion, pupils are either referred to one of our 4 Essex Pupil Referral Units (PRUS), or receive a bespoke education offer through the Essex Individual Packages of Education Support (IPES) framework. However, as neither option can be achieved within the six days, ECC is required to make interim arrangements to meet its statutory duty.
