## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Alternative Provision Key Stage 2 Regulated/Accredited - Permanent Exclusion Placements," focusing on primary education services. The procurement is set within the UKF3 region of the United Kingdom and targets the provision of services related to alternative education placements for permanently excluded students at Key Stage 2. An online survey or questionnaire is scheduled for stakeholder engagement, with a due date of 6th March 2026. This preliminary market engagement, published on 26th February 2026, seeks to inform suitable businesses prior to further tender developments, with the planned contract period running from 15th April 2026 to 30th March 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in primary education services, especially those adept in alternative provision programmes. The process, defined under the "light touch" regime, encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting a wide range of business growth prospects. Organisations well-versed in delivering structured and accredited educational services to children experiencing permanent exclusion are well-suited to compete, with Lincolnshire County Council serving as the buying authority. Potential contractors are invited to engage in the initial market engagement to align their offerings with the specified procurement needs.
