II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Hampshire County Council wishes to establish a register 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.
To meet the assessed needs of pupils, three initial areas have been identified for service delivery. These will be the basis of the register but there will be opportunities for additional services to be added as and when the Council identifies them:
• Tutoring - QTS Qualified/ Non QTS, Specialist Teachers and Additional Support
• Therapies
• Inclusion Support
The requirements cover services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) and, as such, is not subject to the full regime of the PCR 2015 but is instead governed by the 'Light Touch Regime' contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of PCR 2015 (Regulations 74 to 77).
Tendering:.
The Council will run call-offs from the register to award contracts to suitable suppliers to deliver the services. Each call off will have it's own specification which will include a description of the service to be delivered as well as outcomes and Key Performance indicators to be met.
After the initial stage of onboarding onto the register, it will be re-opened (at a date to be set) and it is the Council's intention for it to be open to applications all the time thereafter.
If you are not already registered with the Council's e-tendering website In-Tend please do so via https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire and register your interest in this opportunity.
