This service falls under the Health and Social Work Services category and has an estimated value of GBP 255,000. The procurement is set to be conducted via an open procedure with electronic submissions due by 22 November 2024. The implementation of this contract is anticipated to commence on 15 May 2025 and run until early 2025, encompassing schools and alternative education providers across the UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education technology and data management services. Companies with expertise in developing user-friendly, efficient educational platforms and robust monitoring systems, particularly those that can automate data collection and integrate with various educational providers, will find this tender highly suitable. The successful bidder will not only contribute to the educational advancement of looked-after children in Oxfordshire but also establish a valuable customer relationship with a prominent regional authority. ## Notice Oxfordshire County Council is committed to improving the educational attainment of looked-after children and has a duty under the Children Act 1989 to safeguard and promote the welfare of a child looked after by them. This includes a specific duty to promote the child's educational achievement, wherever they live or are educated. As part of this duty we are required to monitor their engagement with education including their attendance and improve educational outcomes across all aspects. All children that are looked after must have a Personal Education Plan (PEP) which is reviewed regularly in conjunction with their Looked After Child (LAC) review. The PEP forms part of their care plan. Oxfordshire County Council are looking to re-commission a platform that can host the electronic personal education plan (ePEP) for Looked After Children. We are looking for a system which will improve both the quality and efficiency of PEP's within the local authority, but also to make the process of completing a PEP streamlined and user friendly. We would also require the preferred provider to also offer a robust LAC attendance monitoring service which enables us to track and monitor the attendance of EVERY Looked After Child (LAC) in Oxfordshire. The aim of this service will be to provide up to date and accurate information about the education of Looked After Children. This will need to include twice daily collection of pupil attendance data from a range of education providers including schools, PRUs and other alternative education providers. Whilst this may be able to be collected electronically from some providers for others it will require the means to make daily phone calls. The platform will also need to be able to host electronic Personal Education Plan and manage access to the platform for relevant professionals. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Oxfordshire County Council is committed to improving the educational attainment of looked-after children and has a duty under the Children Act 1989 to safeguard and promote the welfare of a child looked after by them.
