About

Nottinghamshire County Council is seeking providers to join a Provider List via a Dynamic Purchasing System (under the Light Touch regime) to deliver commissioned placements of children and young people requiring alternative education. The Provider List will be used for placements made directly by the Council and may also be available to local authority maintained schools, free schools and academies within Nottingham City, greater Nottinghamshire and surrounding areas; successful providers must meet the Council’s standards set out in the service specification and will be subject to regular quality assurance checks. Update: a Specialist Education – Alternative Provision Framework was published as live on 22 May 2026; the current Alternative (education) Provision DPS is due to expire in 2027, no further applications to join that DPS will be evaluated and a Planned Procurement Notice for the replacement framework has been published on Find a Tender Service (FTS) 2026/S 000-041889 (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041889-2026). The provision of QA inspections will be procured separately.
