What is being bought

The Authority requires alternative education for children and young people up to the age of 25, including those with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and those in the care of the Local Authority. Alternative education may be used for a wide variety of purposes to better meet the diverse needs of young people whose needs might not be met in mainstream school settings, ensuring they receive appropriate support and opportunities to succeed. With a plan to reintegrate into school. Preparation for Adulthood is at the heart of this framework, ensuring that learners are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for their future. Learners with SEND may or may not be working at age-related expectations, which will be communicated at the time of referral.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 802,4713 median · 39.9 average (789 of 2,471 with a bid count)3.7 average (878 of 2,471 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)8215.5 median · 15.5 average (2 of 82 with a bid count)5.5 average (2 of 82 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
