## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney is currently initiating a public procurement process titled "Hackney Education Independent and Non-Maintained Special Schools (INMSS) Accreditation". This tender falls under the category of special education services and has a total value of £4,500,000. The procurement is at the active stage with a contract period of three years, expiring on 31st July 2025. Interested parties should prepare their submissions electronically through the London Tender Portal by following the guidelines set out in the procurement documents, which include various selection criteria pertaining to technical and economic aspects to qualify for the accreditation process.

## Notice

Hackney Education is ambitious about improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Working together with stakeholders, we ensure the individual needs of children and young people in the borough are met with the right support, enabling them to benefit from education, skills and employment opportunities to succeed in life. If you are an independent or non-maintained special school (INMSS) and are educating Hackney pupils, you can apply for a contract and become accredited with Hackney Education via the London Tender Portal. The INMSS accreditation process provides flexibility as new providers can, having met the exclusion and selection criteria, join throughout its duration. There is no limit to the number of providers who can be accredited, and providers who are unsuccessful may re-apply at any time. The accreditation process will be managed online via Hackney's e-procurement portal ProContract under reference DN585609.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Hackney Education is establishing a three year Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) in compliance with the Light Touch Regime outlined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. A PDPS can be used by authorities, where there are a number of providers capable of delivering the services needed and where an element of user choice at the call-off stage is necessary. Providers are required to complete the online accreditation form and submit due diligence documents. The accreditation will be assessed on a pass/ fail basis and all criteria are stated in the procurement documents. Providers who pass the accreditation will be awarded the National Schools and Colleges Contract. A Schedule 2 Individual Placement Agreement will then be implemented for each Hackney learner. The following settings are able to apply to become accredited: Independent Registered School Setting (Primary or Secondary), Non-Maintained Special Schools (Primary or Secondary), 16 to 19 Special Post 16 Institution and Alternative Provision (One-to-one or small group provision at home and in the community).
