Herefordshire Council has established an Open Framework for Alternative Education Provision to support children and young people for whom the council has a statutory responsibility. This framework is designed for students who lack a school place, those for whom maintained schools or academies cannot provide an appropriate individualized package, and students facing permanent exclusion or those signed off on medical grounds. The framework is divided into three distinct lots: Lot 1 for education and engagement activities, Lot 2 for face-to-face or online mentoring, and Lot 3 for face-to-face or online tuition. Multiple providers have been appointed to one or more of these lots based on their service capabilities. The framework has a maximum total value of 20,000,000 pounds excluding VAT and is estimated to run until June 30, 2033. Procured under the Light Touch Regime of the Procurement Act 2023, the framework commenced on July 1, 2026, with formal execution of individual agreements occurring between July 2 and August 3, 2026. In compliance with the Procurement Act 2023, the council will reopen the framework at least once before its third anniversary and every five years thereafter to allow for the appointment of additional providers. The agreement outlines comprehensive terms regarding performance monitoring, data processing, pricing schedules, and the procedures for call-off instructions and mini-competitions.

Full Description

Show more
Herefordshire Council has established an Open Framework of suitably qualified providers to deliver alternative education for those children and young people for whom it has a statutory responsibility, who are without a school place; or where a maintained school or academy has been unable to fully provide an appropriate individualised education package. Alternative provision may also be put in place for students who are at the point of permanent exclusion, have been permanently excluded from school or signed off from school on medical grounds. The Alternative Education Provision Framework contains 3 Lots: • Lot 1 - Education and engagement activities • Lot 2 - Mentoring (face to face and/or online) • Lot 3 - Tuition (face to face and/or online) Providers have been appointed to one or more Lots depending upon the service(s) they are able to offer. Multiple providers have been appointed under each Lot. In accordance with the PA 2023, the Council will re-open the Open Framework at least once before the third anniversary of the First Open Framework Commencement Date and at least once every five years thereafter. Further providers may be appointed to the Open Framework when it is re-opened in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Framework terms. The maximum total value of this framework is £20,000,000 (ex VAT) across all 3 Lots. The procurement was conducted in accordance with the open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. It was carried out under the Light Touch Regime (LTR) permissible under PA 2023, Section 9, and therefore applied the flexibilities afforded under the above provisions. Note regarding contract execution dates: The Framework commenced on 1 July 2026. Due to the volume of individual Framework Agreements, these were formally executed between 2 July 2026 and 3 August 2026. The "Date signed" field shows 1 July 2026 due to system constraints within the publication platform and does not represent the actual execution dates.

National Assessment Tutoring
Solicitation # 678PUR-NationalAssessmentTutor
The National Assessment Tutoring Initiative is a Request for Applications issued by the Louisiana Department of Education to identify qualified organizations capable of providing high-quality, targeted tutoring to public high school students. The program focuses on improving student performance in English, reading, and math for national college entrance and assessment exams, specifically the ACT, SAT, CLT, WorkKeys, and ASVAB (AFQT). Approved providers will offer individualized or small-group instruction, delivered either in person or virtually during the school day. Rather than a single prime contract, the LDOE will maintain an approved tutoring vendor guide from which Louisiana schools and school systems will select and contract with providers directly. Applications are evaluated on a pass/not pass basis across four primary factors: alignment with initiative goals, commitment to serving all learners including English learners and students with disabilities, quality of tutoring and instructor qualifications, and stakeholder engagement. Key requirements include the submission of diagnostic assessments, individualized learning plans, and five structured lesson plans. Tutors must meet specific qualification criteria, such as holding a bachelor's degree or having relevant standardized test experience, and must pass mandatory background checks. Additionally, providers using artificial intelligence must certify that no student personally identifiable or confidential data will be shared with AI systems. Out-of-state corporations must obtain a certificate of authority from the Louisiana Secretary of State to be eligible.
