The brief

Luton Council is looking to procure approved alternative education providers to meet the needs of learners who require educational provision to compliment, extend or replace their existing curriculum provision.

Alternative provision may be in place for students who are at the point of permanent exclusion, have been excluded from school or unable to access educational provision in a school or further education provision on medical grounds, or due to mental health and anxiety conditions or complex learning disabilities.

Providers must be able to provide either face-to-face provision or online tutorial.

You must comply with the Quality Standards to be accepted onto the framework.

The tender will be divided into Lots and sub-lots to meet various needs across the primary, secondary and 16+ age years to cover vocational, therapeutic, core GCSE subjects, one-to-one in person, online one-to-one and group learning and complex SEND, severe learning disabilities.

This will be an open framework under the light touch regime.

You must pass the quality questions to be accepted onto the open framework and meet the pricing requirements.
