## Summary

Activate Learning, a sub-central government public authority, has initiated an open procurement process for partnering in the delivery of a therapeutic learning programme for 16-19 year olds in Oxfordshire. The focus is on outdoor-based education for students with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), aiming to overcome complex barriers to accessing education. The tender, entitled "16-19 Study Programme Offer: Oxfordshire - Therapeutic Learning", falls under the education and training services category and involves co-delivery with colleges for classroom preparedness. The contract commences on 1st August 2025 and concludes on 31st July 2026, with a total contract value of £20,000. Key deadlines include the end of the tender period on 2nd May 2025.

This tender presents advantageous opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those specialising in education or outdoor learning experiences. The successful organisation will not only gain financial benefits but also the chance to contribute to the educational sector, potentially enhancing their profile and expanding their portfolio. By aligning with Activate Learning, businesses can leverage this partnership to solidify their position in the sector while providing meaningful educational solutions.

## Notice

Activate Learning is looking to partner to support the delivery of an outdoor based, therapeutic approach to learning based across Oxfordshire. All learners will have EHCPs and require support with complex barriers to accessing education. This provision will focus on developing young people's resilience, trust and relationship to enable sustainable progression into further education opportunities for example Supported Internships. The provision will be co-delivered with the Colleges who will undertake learner preparedness classroom provision for a percentage of the week, with the successful partner co-ordinating and providing outdoor learning opportunities linked to sustainability and food-to-plate. The successful partner will need to work with us within the limitations of the 16-19 funding lagged funding formula whereby successful delivery in 25/26 will lead to lagged funding being received by all parties in 26/27. In year 1, the cohort target will be 8 learners.
