Description
Dorset County Council, Bournemouth Borough Council and Borough of Poole are expanding the information we provide on alternative provision by establishing an Alternative Provision Framework. This is a competitive process in order to establish a Framework of value for money, quality assured Providers. The aim is that there will be a variety of Alternative Provision programmes/activities/services supporting children and young people which can be accessed by Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset County Council, the Borough of Poole and all Schools (including specialist schools and academies). During the planning of this Framework the project group have developed a competitive process for organisations who provide alternative provision services to children and young people, to be added to a quality assured Framework in order that they can deliver their services throughout the county of Dorset, including Bournemouth and Poole. To comply with procurement regulations tenders will be invited for services within the main service categories, which are: * Engagement & Reengagement * Therapeutic * Counselling * Vocational Provision & Employability * Teaching To ensure that a range of Alternative Provision services are made available across the County that can meet the diverse range of needs and circumstances of children and young people, this tender is to establish a Framework of Alternative Provision providers across a range of services. It is our intention that the Framework will run from September 2018 to September 2022. The Framework is designated as a 'Rolling Flexible Framework' which is using the functionality of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) procedure and has been adapted under the Light Touch Regime. As soon as the competitive process closes then the next round will open. This will allow new providers to join the Framework and allow existing providers to change the services that they offer throughout the Framework period. This will ensure that children and young people continue to benefit from new opportunities, from the entry of new providers and have an evolving and wide range of choices/support to meet their needs. The intention is that the Framework will develop and change as required. Existing Framework members will remain on the Framework until it expires, they leave or are removed under the provisions of their individual Framework agreement and they will not need to re-join each year. The Framework will re-open and submissions will be evaluated on a 4-monthly basis. The indicative spend for Dorset County Council is £499,525 per annum. Historically there has been a Dorset County Council contract in place for mentoring valued from £97,900 - £139,008. This indicative spend for Bournemouth Borough Council is £424,869 per annum and the Borough of Poole indicative spend is £197,282 per annum. This Tender is being advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union.
