Published requirement description

To fulfil our statutory obligation, we are looking for dynamic partners to provide tutoring to Wigan children and young people who may otherwise not have a suitable education offer. We are looking for providers who are primarily able to offer face to face tutoring with the flexibility to offer online tutoring when this is in the best interests of the child. In a small number of cases Wigan children may need an out of borough education offer and we welcome providers who can offer this level of flexibility.

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £4,166,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality
  • Social Value
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Wigan Council - Tutoring Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
