This procurement process is at the tender stage, with an updated final submission deadline of 12:00 pm on 26th January 2026. The contract, with an estimated total value of £25,000,000, aims to support vulnerable children and young people in education, particularly those between statutory school age and 25 years with an Education, Health and Care Plan. The services are to be delivered across London, under the industry category of education and training services, with the procurement method being an open, competitive flexible procedure. The framework is open to allowing additional educational institutions like Academy Trusts to access the services and will last up to five years, potentially extending to 2031. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those proficient in alternative provision, vocational training, and inclusion support services. The contract is divided into three lots focusing on different services, including providing full-time education for students excluded or at risk of exclusion, vocational training for practical skills development, and outreach support for students with social, emotional, and mental health needs. Suitable contenders would be those capable of delivering high-quality, flexible educational solutions, such as SMEs and VCSEs. The framework allows for the inclusion of new providers over its lifespan, fostering additional business opportunities for educational service providers in the sector. ## Notice This notice is a clarification to the Tender Notice published on 25 November 2025: - Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-076691 - Procurement Title : Framework Agreement for the provision for Alternative Provision, Education Outreach and Inclusion Services - Procurement Identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-055608 The Council has identified an administrative error in the original Tender notice.
