Market Engagement for a new SEND Alternative Provision Open Framework

Published

Description

Hampshire County Council wish to create a new open framework for the provision of additional education and supportive services commissioned by Hampshire County Council to pupils in Hampshire who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). EHCP's are for those children (0-16) or young people (16-19) or adults (19-25) with special educational needs who require support beyond that which an educational setting can provide for Children and Young People on SEN support. The service's primary function is to fulfil the Authority's statutory obligation under the Children & Families Act and SEND Regulations (2014) to assess, meet and review the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN), through engagement with families and support professionals. Under the Children and Families Act 2014 the purpose of an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is to make special educational provision to meet the special educational needs of the child or young person, to secure the best possible outcomes for them across education, health and social care and, as they get older, prepare them for adulthood. Examples of supporting services could include tutoring pupils who are in education, providing tutoring or mentoring for pupils who are struggling to engage in education, supporting pupils who are educated other than at school (EOTAS) or working to provide specialist support to aid education placements and children and young people who require a more bespoke education package. The services in the Open Framework will include: • Tutoring (QTS qualified) in person/online  • Tutoring (non QTS) in person/online  • Specialist teachers in person/online  • Regulated Services supporting education - Therapies (HCPC registered)   • Other services supporting education - Inclusion Support (mentoring/non-registered therapies) in person / online  The framework will follow the 'Light Touch Regime' of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of PCR 2015 (Regulations 74 to 77). It will be initially let for 4 years, with further optional extensions in flexible periods of up to 8 years, taking the maximum length of the Open Framework to 12 years. It will operate concurrently with the existing framework SEN Discretionary Payments Open Framework (CS18368) and will eventually replace it. Four information events will be held online in January to engage with existing and interested providers, which will include a presentation by the SEN Team, a question-and-answer session and an explanation of the tendering process by a member of the Procurement Team. These events will take place on the following dates: • Monday 20th January, 10:30 - 11:50 • Tuesday 21st January, 09:30 - 10:50 • Monday 27th January, 14:30 - 15:50 • Thursday 30th January, 14:30 - 15:50 Booking will be managed via Intend correspondence.
