## Summary

The Walsall Council e-Tendering is currently engaged in the award stage of the procurement process for the "WP3645a - Alternative Education Framework." This initiative falls under the education and training services category and encompasses a range of alternative educational provisions aimed at young people at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. The contract period is set to commence on 16th November 2021 and will run until 31st July 2025, with a total contract value of £12,000,000. The procurement was conducted using an open method, allowing a transparent and competitive application process for interested parties.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses that specialise in alternative education services, vocational training, or educational consultancy. Companies with experience in providing tailored educational solutions for at-risk youth will be well-suited to compete. The focus on engaging diverse educational approaches suggests that innovative service providers, including those that integrate technology or unique pedagogical strategies, could leverage this procurement to expand their market reach and foster partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice

The Council wishes re-open the alternative education framework to new applications for all Lots and the enclosed Supplementary Invitation to Tender (ITT) document outlines the process to be followed. This is not a new procurement process; the terms, conditions and award criteria under the current framework remain in place. The service delivers a range of alternative approaches to providing access to education for young people who are excluded or at risk of exclusion, at risk of disengaging from mainstream school provision or otherwise require alternative education provision to meet their educational entitlement.
