What is being bought

Published requirement description

This is a retrospective contract details notice for the Alternative Provision Tier One (Outreach) Service provided by Olive Academies between September 2025 - July 2026.

This involves delivering targeted early support within mainstream schools, supporting children across all Key Stages 1 - 4, to address emerging needs promptly. The goal is to provide assistance before challenges escalate for children, reducing the likelihood of exclusion, maximising engagement and participation in learning and promoting inclusion with the mainstream educational environment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the start date of this contract was 1st September 2025.
