Derbyshire County Council is seeking a supplier for a framework of Alternative Provision for Children and Young People in Derbyshire who are excluded, at risk of exclusion, disengaged or require alternative educational arrangements. The framework will deliver education to help CYP prepare for the next stages of education, learning or adult life (including where relevant improving behaviour and attendance prior to reintegration into school) through four approaches: preventative support in mainstream schools; time-limited short-term placements; transitional placements to support movement to next stages of learning, training or work; and placements for children who have been permanently excluded. Services are split into five lots: Lot A: Preventative & Early Intervention, Lot B: Targeted Short-Term Provision, Lot C: Specialist Long-Term Provision, Lot D: Primary AP & Transition Support, and Lot E: Vocational & Progression Pathways.
