This process, titled "CSI-ED-Alternative Learning Framework," falls under the industry category of health and social work services and is currently in the planning stage. The framework will operate from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2027, with a total proposed value of £12 million, and will offer contractors the opportunity to submit their tenders starting from 1 January 2022. Key aspects involve three contract lots, including full-time ALP, part-time ALP, and in-school support, with potential collaboration with neighbouring local authorities to enhance funding and resource pooling. This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses engaged in educational services, particularly those specialising in alternative learning and support for young people with diverse educational needs. Organisations that can deliver tailored educational interventions, in-school support services, or part-time learning provisions will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Successful providers will be included in the Provision of Alternative Learning System catalogue, potentially expanding their reach to both Bristol City Council and local schools while contributing to the improvement of educational outcomes for vulnerable groups. ## Notice Bristol City Council is seeking to set up a flexible framework for Alternative Learning Provision (ALP), to support children and young people with alternative education needs. In line with the priorities set out in the published draft commissioning strategy, the framework will offer support for young people through four stages of their education journey: 1. In-school support and early intervention 2. Moving into ALP 3. Thriving, achieving and belonging in ALP 4. Leaving ALP This will be delivered through three distinct contract lots for providers to join, that can be commissioned by both Bristol City Council and Bristol schools, although final specifications will be dependent on the outcome of the public consultation on the draft ALP commissioning strategy: * Lot 1: Full-time and revolving-door ALP (registered schools only) * Lot 2: Part-time ALP * Lot 3: In-school support Providers that successfully join the framework will be included on the Provision of Alternative Learning System catalogue. The framework will run from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2027, with an optional one year extension. The proposed maximum value of the framework will be PS2.4m per annum, with a proposed tender submission period from 1 January 2022. A collaborative approach with neighbouring local authorities is also being explored. Should a joint commissioning approach be undertaken, the maximum value will be increased to incorporate spending on ALP across these local authorities. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Bristol City Council is seeking to set up a flexible framework for Alternative Learning Provision (ALP), to support children and young people with alternative education needs.
