Alternative Provision

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a DPS for the provision of Alternative Provision for Learners who, because of exclusion, illness, or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education. There will be 4 Lots: Lot 1 Full Time Education Provision Lot 2 Part Time Education Provision Lot 3 Bespoke Provision Lot 4 Support for post-16 Education and Preparation for Adulthood Tenderers will be able to apply for one or multiple Lots from the list above in one submission. Once admitted onto the DPS, Providers may wish, at a later date, to apply for a Lot in addition to Lot/s they are already on. These Providers will then be required to submit a new application. It is possible for providers to develop their services and to grow and adapt to meet Hillingdon’s changing needs over the 7 year period. There are no values for each individual Lot, as this service is in development phase meaning there is no full historic data for forecasting, and we anticipate that providers will add additional Lots to their service over the contract term. The total forecasted value of AP in Hillingdon per annum is £2.7m. The term of the contract is for 7 years.
