## Summary

The North Northamptonshire Council, in collaboration with the West Northamptonshire Council, is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for the "Innovation in Alternative Provision Services" project. This initiative, categorised under education and training services, is currently in the planning stage. The procurement process aims to pilot innovative approaches for alternative provision targeting excluded pupils aged 13 to 16, with a potential implementation date set for August 2022. Suppliers interested in participating must submit their EOIs by 5:00 PM on 22nd February 2022 to the North Northamptonshire Council via email.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, social work, or innovative teaching methodologies. Companies with expertise in developing tailored education plans, person-centred outcomes, or alternative provision models will find this pilot particularly suitable, as the councils aspire to improve educational outcomes for young individuals facing exclusion. Engaging in this project could enable businesses to expand their footprint in the public sector while contributing to meaningful advancements in educational services within Northamptonshire.

## 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.
