Description

The London Borough of Hillingdon has admitted providers onto a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) (and issued the standard DPS terms) to participate in opportunities for awards via call-offs and mini-competitions for the provision of education to learners who because of exclusion, illness or other reasons would not otherwise receive suitable education. The values within this notice are for a 7-year period. The council intends to award to providers via mini-competition as detailed in the ITT or block contracts.

Total Quantity or Scope

There will be 4 Lots: Lot 1 Full Time Education Provision Lot 2 Part Time Education Provision Lot 3 Bespoke Provision Lot 4 Support for post-16 Education and Preparation for Adulthood Tenderers will be able to apply for one or multiple Lots in one submission. Once admitted onto the DPS, Providers may wish, at a later date, to apply for a Lot in addition to Lot/s they are already on. These Providers will then be required to submit a new application. It is possible for providers to develop their services and to grow and adapt to meet Hillingdon’s changing needs over the 7 year period. The DPS will reopen to new tenderers from approximately the middle of September 2024 and remain open for the duration of the contract term. There are no values for each individual Lot, as this service is in development phase meaning there is no full historic data for forecasting, and we anticipate that providers will add additional Lots to their service over the contract term. The total forecasted value of AP in Hillingdon per annum is £2.7m. The term of the contract is for 7 years. The intention of the DPS is to admit suitable Alternative Provision Providers for opportunities for the award of Individual Placement Agreement(s) and or Block Service Order(s). These will be awarded using a call-off procedure or mini competition by the Service Area (further details are within the Service Specification). There is no guarantee of business/business volumes and equally there is no limit as the volumes are demand-led. The Council is seeking a diverse range of Alternative Provision Providers. There is no limit on the number of Providers who can be admitted, and additional Providers can join the DPS during the term of the DPS, subject to their applications meeting the Qualification requirements.
