## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council has awarded a contract for the "Nurture Outreach Service" aimed at enhancing outcomes for children transitioning from pre-school to primary education. This initiative falls under the category of Education and training services and will be implemented in the Bath region (UKK12), United Kingdom. The award, dated 17th March 2026, marks the completion of the procurement process, with the active contract starting on 1st April 2026 and potentially running until 31st March 2030, contingent upon service requirements and mutual agreement. The contract, valued at £337,410.87, is governed by local legislation and acknowledges the limitations of competition due to a below-threshold procurement method with a light-touch regime.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those equipped to deliver support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in nurturing and educational outreach would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. As demonstrated by the successful award to Three Ways Brighter Futures, engagement with local councils seeking innovative solutions can provide valuable business prospects. Enterprises with the capacity to address statutory support mitigations and enhance curriculum accessibility are likely to find this sector promising for expansion.

## Notice

The core purpose of the Nurture Outreach Service is to improve the outcomes for the 24 children they support by helping them to access the school curriculum and facilitate a positive transition as they move from their pre-school setting to Reception class at primary school. Thereby, significantly reducing their risk of exclusion and the need for additional statutory support such as an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP). This is in line with SEND Collaboration, the SEND & AP Self Evaluation and underlying Improvement Plan 2025. This is a 3 year contract with the option to extend for up to 12 months. The maximum estimated contract value is PS450,000 (inclusive of potential 12 month extension).
