## Summary

Cornwall Council is engaging in a public procurement process for "Community Based Out of School Provision" aimed at developing alternative education provisions and specialist placements for children and young people unable to access mainstream education. The procurement, classified under "Education and training services", covers all of England, with a total estimated value of £4,800,000. It is currently in the tender stage with a key tender period ending on 27th August 2024 at 18:00 BST. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2024 and will run until the end of August 2028. The procurement method is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and focuses on services. All providers must join an Approved Provider List (APL) to participate, ensuring adherence to quality standards.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses well-suited for this opportunity include those experienced in delivering alternative education and training services, especially within the community-based sector. By joining the APL, providers can gain long-term contracts and contribute to the educational development of children and young people, potentially elevating their market position and expanding their service offerings.

## Notice

Cornwall Council wants to work together with independent, community-based partners, to develop a range of out of school alternative education provision, and specialist placements for children and young people currently unable to access full-time, mainstream education. Cornwall Council wishes to develop an Approved Provider List (APL). The aim of the APL will be to increase due diligence and ensure that children and young people accessing the alternative provision are safe and fully supported to reach their agreed outcomes whilst attending high quality provision. This will mean that, from September 2024, Cornwall Council will only be using providers who have joined the APL and agreed to deliver the quality standards.
