This opportunity concerns Lot 2, covering tutoring services for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The work is a public service delivered for children in Leicestershire, with the council procuring the provision. The requirement is classified as health and social work services, although the practical focus is specialist educational tutoring. It is intended for organisations that can provide tutoring to children whose medical, special educational or disability-related circumstances affect their access to education. The framework is being reopened specifically to bring new providers into this service area, rather than to procure general education, unrelated social care or broader healthcare services. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure for the reopening of Lot 2 only. Bids must be submitted electronically in English by 8 October 2026 at 11:00. The stated contract period is 360 days, with one further option to extend the original framework. The lot has an estimated value of £567,000. Evaluation is based entirely on quality; price will not be evaluated. Suppliers may bid for one lot only, and variants are not allowed. The bid opening and the start of the stated award period are scheduled for 8 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement uses the light-touch regime under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. This opportunity suits tutoring organisations with the capability to teach children with special educational needs and disabilities, including children whose medical needs affect their education. Providers should be able to demonstrate a strong, reliable tutoring service tailored to individual circumstances, and to present a high-quality offer for assessment. Because quality accounts for all of the evaluation, the opportunity is particularly relevant to organisations able to evidence the standard, suitability and consistency of their educational provision rather than compete primarily on price. It is suited to specialist education providers, tutoring companies and other organisations experienced in supporting children who need adapted or additional educational support. Providers must be prepared to join an established council framework and deliver services for children in Leicestershire. ## Notice Leicestershire County Council ("the Council") is seeking to recruit new providers to an established Framework Agreement in accordance with the Light-Touch Regime requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (PCR 2015) for the purpose of procuring the tutoring services for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability Framework. ### Lot Information Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SENA) Leicestershire County Council ("the Council") is seeking to recruit new providers to an established Framework Agreement in accordance with the Light-Touch Regime requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) (PCR 2015) for the purpose of procuring the tutoring services for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability Framework.
