Flexible Learning and Support Services for Children and Young People
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of commissioning a framework for Flexible Learning and Support Services for Children and Young People. This initiative falls under the Education and Training Services category and aims to provide comprehensive support for children and young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The services will cover a range of provisions such as tutoring, mentoring, and online education platforms.
The authority is conducting a soft market test to gather input from potential suppliers before finalising the service specification. A questionnaire linked to this engagement is available and should be completed by 16th April 2025. The contract delivery is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2026, in the UKG36 region of the United Kingdom.
This tender offers significant opportunities for SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises) that specialise in education and social work services. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can contribute to shaping a diverse selection of support services aimed at enhancing educational outcomes for young people. This framework will open avenues for businesses to offer tailored services, ensuring a high level of support is available at the right time for children and young people.
Companies with expertise in tutoring, mentoring, and developing educational platforms would be particularly well-suited to compete for inclusion in this framework, thus enabling them to expand their service offerings and client base within the public sector.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is considering commissioning a Flexible Learning and Support Services Framework. Our aim is to provide a varied offer of services to our children and young people to support their education and/or Special Educational Needs & Disabilities. These services will be both statutory and non-statutory but provide enhanced levels of support to our young people at the right time and to meet particular need.
The key aim of this framework is to provide local authority colleagues with a diverse selection of suppliers to draw upon, in order to provide our CYP with a wide range of provisions to support and enhance their learning, including services such as tutoring, mentoring, post 16 provision and online education platforms. As part of the decision-making process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test. This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles.
The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the potential specification. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service.
There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
