This tender targets the education and training services industry and is set in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone for engagement ending on 22nd February 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their Expressions of Interest by this deadline via email to the provided contact point, North Northamptonshire Procurement Team. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in innovative educational solutions and alternative provision services. Organisations that focus on improving educational outcomes for excluded pupils, especially those that can implement person-centred approaches, would be well-suited to participate. The pilot is envisaged to not only influence the future development of Northamptonshire’s Alternative Provision Framework but also create avenues for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises to contribute meaningfully to educational improvements in the region. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) jointly on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) would like to invite Expressions of Interest for innovative Alternative Provision Services for a one year pilot period with the option of extending for up to three years if the new approach decided on can be shown to improve the outcomes for excluded pupils aged 13 years to 16 years. Alternative Provision (AP) in the County of Northamptonshire is run on an established model. However recent review suggests that the outcomes for children in AP are not always measured or even defined. In anticipation of an AP Framework competition in 2022 we want to explore the creation of a pilot that will test different ways of providing education to excluded pupils, including definition of person centred outcomes. It is expected that this pilot would inform the future development of the main AP Framework.
