AI Summary
Hull City Council is inviting tenders from qualified organisations to deliver Alternative Provision services across seven distinct lots under a single contract. The service will support children and young people who cannot attend mainstream or non‑mainstream schools, providing tailored education or training solutions between 1 September 2027 and 31 August 2029, with the possibility of two additional one‑year extensions. The contract is to be executed at the local authority’s UKE11 site and will be awarded using an open one‑stage procedure that accepts electronic submissions.
Each lot represents a defined component of the overall provision, with estimated values ranging from £216 000 to £1 133 544 excluding VAT. The council will assess tenderers on a range of quality criteria: Delivery Model (20 %), Safeguarding (15 %), Transitions (15 %), Scenarios (15 %), Staffing (10 %), Engagement of Children and Young Persons (10 %), Monitoring & Reporting (10 %) and Social Value (5 %). These weighted indicators govern the evaluation process, ensuring that selected providers can meet the council’s expectations for effective, safe, and inclusive learning alternatives.
Tender submissions must demonstrate the ability to design and deliver a robust alternative provision framework that adheres to the council’s safeguarding policy while facilitating smooth transitions for young people into further education, training or employment.
