Summary

Machine-generated summary

Bury Metropolitan Borough Council plans to establish a new commissioning arrangement for delivering Alternative Provision to children and young people, with a focus on those with SEND, those at risk of exclusion, and those unable to access mainstream or specialist education. The service will offer a graduated continuum of support, from mainstream in-reach and early intervention to full-time AP, specialist bespoke provision, vocational and employability pathways, Post-16 preparation for adulthood, and tutoring, aiming at reintegration into mainstream education or transition to appropriate longer-term provision. A two-tier directory of Core Providers and Approved Providers is proposed. This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice invites providers to a live market engagement event and a post-event questionnaire, whose outputs will shape the final service specification and procurement strategy.

Description

Bury Metropolitan Borough Council ("the Council") intends to establish a new commissioning arrangement for the delivery of Alternative Provision (AP) to children and young people, with a particular focus on those with SEND, those at risk of exclusion, and those unable to access mainstream or specialist education. The service will deliver a graduated continuum of support from mainstream in-reach and early intervention through to full-time AP, specialist bespoke provision, vocational and employability pathways, Post-16 preparation for adulthood, and tutoring with the primary aim of supporting reintegration into mainstream education or transition to the most appropriate longer-term provision. The arrangement is proposed to operate a two-tier directory (Core Providers and Approved Providers). This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is published to inform the market of the Council's intentions and to invite providers, partners and stakeholders to participate in a live PME event and post-event questionnaire. The outputs of PME will inform the final service specification and procurement strategy.
