CSI/ED/Therapists, Mentors and Tutors Approved Provider List

Update: The Council intends to substantially reduce the use of, and eventually to no longer be commissioning tutoring or mentoring services using this framework. Please therefore apply to ALP Framework (DN549611), which will be used to purchase mentoring and tutoring service. Tutors & Mentors that do apply via this DPS will not be scored or evaluated. Therapists, please continue to apply using this DPS Framework. ********************************************** Bristol City Council is seeking to appoint a wide range of providers to deliver high quality therapy, mentoring and tutoring support that will increase educational attainment and participation for children and young people with special educational needs and contribute to narrowing the attainment gaps between different groups of pupils.

The aim of this Approved Provider List (APL) is to facilitate open and transparent purchasing of therapy, mentoring and tutoring, purchased to support the strategic aims and outcomes set out in this document, and to deliver consistent quality, value for money and monitoring.

These services are primarily commissioned by two bodies: the Local Authority and the child/young person’s school. It is the Local Authorities ambition that all Schools within Bristol will use the Approved Provider List to purchase the services.
