Description
The Council has a duty to secure Alternative Education Provision (AEP) which is defined as education arranged by local authorities for pupils who, because of exclusion, illness or other reasons, would not otherwise receive suitable education. The purpose of the service will be to support the Council with this duty by providing a full time AEP service for this cohort. The scope and requirements for these services is divided into three lots: • Lot 1 - Full Time onsite Alternative Education Provision to permanently excluded and challenging young people, predominantly at Key Stage 4; • Lot 2 - Full time virtual/online education for children in Key Stages, 3, 4 and 5; • Lot 3 - Short Term Provision for children with an EHCP without a permanent school place. The contract dates for Lot 1 and 2 will be 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2024 (Two optional extensions 1st September 2024 to 31st August 2026 and 1st September 2026 to 31st September 2027). The contract dates for Lot 3 will be 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022 (One optional extension 1st September 2022 to 31st August 2023). The indicative budget for Lot 1 is estimated to be around 480,000 GBP per annum, Lot 2 it is likely to be between 50 000 and 100,00 GBP per annum and Lot 3 is likely to be between 80 000 and 130,000 GBP per annum. This is only an estimate and the actual spend maybe higher or lower than these figures. The Council is of the opinion that TUPE will apply to Lot 1 only.
