Alternative Provision and One to One Tutoring Dynamic Purchasing System
Main contract details
Providers of educational tutoring and alternative provision are invited to apply to be on a DPS of providers to deliver one, or both of the above types of service.
The DPS will run initially from 1st September 2016 to 31st July 2019 with an option to extend for a further two full years to July 2021.
Providers will deliver the service in accordance with the agreed DPS price for the duration of the contract.
It is anticipated that the majority of pupils referred for tutoring or alternative provision will have a Statement of SEN / Education, Health and Care Plan, and will have Social, Emotional or Mental Health needs, some of which may be complex.
Lot 1 - Alternative Provision
A group-based alternative provision service is required to provide alternative and innovative approaches to engaging young people in education where other approaches have failed to meet their needs.
Examples of the kinds of alternative provision previously used are practical courses – such as motor mechanics, bricklaying and plumbing, or hairdressing; work placements, and experiences caring for animals. This list is not exhaustive and innovative ideas are welcomed, providing that they can deliver outcomes for children and young people.
Lot 2 - One to One Tutoring
A One-to-one tutoring service is required to provide high quality teaching for individuals who are currently out of school and cannot engage with group-based provision or it is felt that a one-to-one service is preferable.
The majority of referrals will be short-term – for example between a week and a school term. However, this will be dependent on the individuals needs and education plan.
In all cases where the tutor is required to teach National Curriculum subjects, providers must ensure that tutors are appropriately qualified and are able to teach up to the required standard in Mathematics and English as a minimum.
Tutoring should take place in Trafford, either at the official venue of the tutoring provider, or a suitable alternative venue to be agreed in advance with
