This initiative falls under the services category, specifically within the accounting and auditing services and business and management consultancy sectors. The procurement method is classified as selective and follows a restricted procedure above the threshold. The contract period is set between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2022, while the tender period officially ended on 31 August 2022. This process is taking place in Coventry, West Midlands, with a focus on supporting local maintained schools in accordance with The Education and Inspections Act 2006. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational support, quality assurance, and related consultancy services. Companies that can demonstrate relevant experience, a strong capacity for delivering quality services, and effective safeguarding arrangements would be well-suited to participate in this tender. Furthermore, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage, as the procurement aims to create inclusive opportunities that enhance educational outcomes within the local community. ## Notice The Council is to operate a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the evaluation of the effectiveness of support received for school improvement, to ensure schools are making good progress in accordance with The Education and Inspections Act 2006, which places a statutory duty on all local authorities in England, in exercising their functions in respect of maintained schools causing concern. Each Service Contract 'Call-off' will be based on the delivery of a completed Quality Assurance Visit (QAV), per school. The exact number of QAV's to be scheduled per school will be wholly dependent upon each school's individual requirements, therefore, the providers will be notified by the Council during the annual scheduling of work process, of the number of QAV's (days), per school. Providers will be required to demonstrate the following: *Evidence of recent and relevant experience *Evidence of capacity to deliver services *Safeguarding arrangements which meet Coventry City Council and Children's Safeguarding Board standards *Ability to complete high quality reports Providers are required to arrange and conduct formal monitoring visits to individual schools to: a) Verify the accuracy of the school's current position statement and to evaluate the appropriateness of the school's actions for improvement, as identified by the school. b) Discuss and provide evidence of how the school is addressing areas of underperformance. c) gather evidence and evaluate the impact of any support or intervention provided or commissioned.
