Tender description

<p>Oxfordshire County Council (the Council) invites Applicants to tender to join a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to support the provision of Alternative Provision (AP). AP provides support to often vulnerable children and young people (Pupils) and each placement has the potential to transform a child&rsquo;s life chances. AP is education arranged and commissioned for Pupils of compulsory school age outside of mainstream or special schools, who would not otherwise receive suitable education for any reason. This includes Pupils with behaviour problems, with health needs preventing school attendance or without a school place. This may include full or part-time placements in PRUs, AP academies, AP free schools, hospital special schools, FE colleges, independent schools and other provision such as home tuition services and voluntary or private sector Providers. This Phase (Phase 2) is to open the window for the 2nd tranche of applications to join the DPS for AP. This window will now remain open for the full DPS Contract term.</p> Keywords: alternative provision, special educational needs, alternative education
