The event will be held on the 7th of June at The Gallery, Elgin Library, aimed at introducing potential suppliers to the Flexible Provider Framework. The event is part of the Council's Additional Support Needs (ASN) Improvement Programme, focusing on diversifying educational offerings for learners. This presents an opportunity for a range of businesses, from micro-businesses to social enterprises, to work with the Council in delivering alternative curriculum services. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage with a planned date for the tender to go live in the early Autumn of 2023. Potential suppliers will be required to meet the minimum standards set by Moray Council to be onboarded onto the Flexible Procurement Framework. The Council is seeking businesses that can provide physical and cultural activities aligned with supporting learning outcomes. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the Council's procurement process to expand and enhance the alternative curriculum offerings for children and young people with additional support needs. ## Notice On the 7th June at 3.00pm at The Gallery, Elgin Library, we are hosting an Alternative Curriculum Provider Event. This event will include a number of presentations and a questions and answers session. The aims of the event are:- To introduce the Moray Council Alternative Curriculum and the Flexible Provider Framework to Potential Suppliers; To better understand how we can help you work in partnership with us; To answer your questions; and Outline the Next Steps. The event will finish at 5.00pm. To reserve your place, please email robin.paterson@moray.gov.uk. If you are unable to make this event, we are also planning to arrange an online event. We will confirm the date and time for this virtual meeting shortly. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Currently, Moray Council commissions a small number of providers to work in partnership with us to deliver alternative curriculum activities for children and young people who need additional support. This support may be necessary because they are struggling to make the transition from primary to secondary school, at risk of disengaging from mainstream education or being excluded from school due to an underlying behavioural issue. As part of the Council's Additional Support Needs (ASN) Improvement Programme, we want to expand and diversify our educational offer through the commissioning of an increased number of independent service suppliers who could offer a range of both physical and cultural activities which are aligned to supporting the learning outcomes for our learners. These activities could include outdoor activities, recreational activities or the arts. Who Do Want to Work In Partnership With? We are interested in engaging with third and voluntary sector organisations, ranging in size from micro businesses to large scale small to medium sized social enterprises, as well as commercial enterprises who have the skills and expertise to work with us to deliver the alternative curriculum. How will it work? Potential suppliers will be asked to assist Education colleagues in the realisation of the learning outcomes agreed in the education plan for an individual child or young person. Interested parties will be invited to tender through the Council's Flexible Procurement Framework. This simplified approach sets out the necessary standards required to enter into the contract with Moray Council. Suppliers who meet the minimum requirements they will be on-boarded onto the Framework and will be available to work with any school run by Moray Council subject a more detail service agreement which outlines the individual requirements. When will the Framework go Live? We intend to have the Framework and Application documentation ready to be circulated during the summer and we aim to deliver in partnership with suppliers the alternative curriculum in the early Autumn of 2023. My Organisation would be interested, how do I find out more? We have outlined the approach we would like to take to further developing the alternative curriculum offer in the "Education for All: Alternative Curriculum Market Positioning Statement".
