What is being bought
Whilst the majority of children and young people will access their education within a registered school, for some with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) this is not appropriate.
When the local authority is in agreement that education within a school is not appropriate to be able to support the needs of the child or young person, an arrangement can be agreed for them to access their education elsewhere by a different service.
Historically, Torbay Council has taken an ad-hoc approach to this where the provision is spot-purchased on a case-by-case basis. Due to this ad-hoc arrangement and the increasing need for children and young people to receive their education via (Education other than at Schools) EOTAS, it has caused a fragmented system where there is no package offer available for families to understand what EOTAS could look like for their child and inconsistencies have been experienced.
Therefore, the purpose of this procurement exercise is to establish a holistic EOTAS Programme where a child or young person accessing the provision has a consistent journey with defined outcomes, families can, at a glance, understand what the EOTAS provision will look like for their child and will increase the overall sustainability of EOTAS delivery within Torbay.
The EOTAS Programme will compromise of 4 Lots:
Lot 1 Core Curriculum Education
Lot 2 Community Inclusion and Preparing for Adulthood
Lot 3a Aspiration Framework; and
Lot 3b Therapeutic Framework
