Description

Surrey County Council (SCC) has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the supply of services in respect of Independent Alternative Provision for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities for an initial period of 4 years + with optional further extension provisions for an additional 2 years + 2 years. This contract award notice is for the admitted providers to the initial round of the DPS. The primary purpose of this DPS will be to provide key education and/or other support services to a child or young person who are in receipt of an Education, Health, and Care (EHCP) (or those individuals as outlined in the Service Specification). SCC wishes to move to a whole system approach to alternative provision where inclusive schools, clear pathways and outstanding provision all work together to ensure excellent outcomes for children and young people. SCC wishes promoting a collective system in which educational settings, community services, health and education support services all play a crucial part in responding to vulnerable children and assisting with reintegration to school (where appropriate). Providers successful in joining the AP DPS will play a vital role in creating a “community” of provision. Independent Alternative Provision is provision largely for one-to-one support, children and young people who require specialist intervention (in many cases but not exclusively for their additional needs) which in many cases is delivered in the home or in the community with the support of / or at the request of families. The services required fall under Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). As a result, this procurement is undertaken under the 'Light Touch Regime' as detailed in Section 7 of PCR 2015. Eligible Surrey County Council Maintained schools and Academies may access Providers on the DPS following Year 1 (Please see https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/schools/directory) for list of schools and academies included) via an access agreement. The DPS will have six (6) lots and be further divided into two (2) sub-lots as follows: Lot 1: Tutoring (QTS Qualified) - Lot 1a: Online - Lot 1b: Face to Face provision Lot 2: Tutoring (Non QTS Qualified) - Lot 2a: Online - Lot 2b: Face to Face provision Lot 3: Specialist Teachers - Lot 3a: Online - Lot 3b: Face to Face provision Lot 4: Registered Therapies supporting education (covered under HCPC) - Lot 4a: Online - Lot 4b: Face to Face provision Lot 5: Other services supporting education - Lot 5a: Online - Lot 5b: Face to Face provision Lot 6: Post-16 Support Services (supporting employment, preparing for adulthood/ independence) - Lot 6a: Online - Lot 6b: Face to Face provision SCC intends to evaluate new applications to the ‘Admission’ stage twice a year. The Council reserves the right to revise the number of evaluation Rounds (‘opening ceremonies’) for Admission stage per year at its discretion to allow further applicants to apply in an emergency. The Council will add Providers to the DPS throughout its duration, providing that the Providers meet the requirements outlined in the Invitation to Tender documents and submit an Application that is found to be compliant. By applying to be admitted to the DPS, Providers are not obligated to bid for services at 'Contracting' stage. These services are being procured under a multiple-Provider DPS. There will be no limit to the number of Providers admitted onto the DPS, providing they meet the minimum requirements as set out in the Invitation to Tender documents. There will be no guarantee of work or volume of work given under this DPS. For the purposes of this Contract Award Notice, the overall estimated aggregate DPS value has been divided equally between each Lot however does not reflect the anticipated Lot spend or contract value. This will be determined based on the need of the individual at Stage 2: Contracting Stage and cannot be anticipated at this stage.
