Hillingdon DPS reference: DYNAMIC PURCHASING SYSTEM - Alternative Provision Services for Children and Young People in Hillingdon Hillingdon Council is seeking suitable providers of alternative provision to review the tender pack in proactis and apply to join the DPS. This is a DPS for the provision of Alternative Provision for Learners who, because of exclusion, illness, or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education.

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 ending in 2031.
