## Description
Surrey County Council (SCC) is looking to commission its Independent Alternative Provision services and would like to hear from organisations who have experience in this area of provision. This is not an invitation to tender.
Surrey County Council warmly invites you to take part in our interactive market engagement workshop for potential and existing providers of Independent Alternative provision. This includes Non-Maintained Independent (NMI) provision who may wish to contribute to Surrey County Council’s Independent Alternative Provision (AP) community
Independent Alternative Provision is provision largely for one-to-one support, children and young people who require specialist intervention (in many cases but not exclusively for their additional needs) which in many cases is delivered in the home or in the community with the support of / or at the request of families.
This may include:
•	Tutoring (QTS qualified and non QTS qualified)
•	Specialist teachers
•	Services supporting education
•	Community based service(s) (for example, equine care)
•	Registered therapy (such as physiotherapy, speech & language or Occupational)
•	Post-16 Support Services & pathways
The purpose of this event will be to:
-	Share with you our vision and priorities for the development of Independent Alternative provision in Surrey.
-	Learn together about what is working well and what we can improve in how we commission and deliver Independent Alternative Provision in Surrey.
-	Explore the shared values and ways of working that will help us collaborate effectively in the future, as we begin the process of recommissioning the future Independent Alternative Provision offer; and
-	Develop a joint understanding of the outcomes for young people that we want to enable through the provision of Independent Alternative Provision in Surrey
SCC would like to invite Providers with relevant experience to register for the Market Engagement Workshop Event in relation to Independent Alternative Provision services. The detailed service requirements are still in development, and information gathered from this Market Event will inform the Service Specification and key outcomes as well as the procurement process.
Providers will also be invited to attend future Market Engagement Events for this opportunity.
It is anticipated that the tender opportunity will be published by Early Autumn 2023 through Proactis, with a contract start date of June 2024: https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login?cid=surreycc#
