    Brief

    Berkshire Forest Council (BFC) is seeking to procure 15 block placements with a registered Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) or Alternative Provision Academy to provide education and transportation services for vulnerable pupils. The contract consists of two components: (1) 10 placements for pupils who have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools, where the provider will accept students on day six post-exclusion and deliver a full curriculum tailored to their educational and personal development needs; (2) 5 placements for pupils with Education Health Care Plans (EHCPs) who are at risk of permanent exclusion or awaiting permanent provision, where the provider will support EHCP outcomes, conduct required assessments, facilitate reintegration, and support statutory consultation processes. The selected provider must have full responsibility for transporting all BFC students to and from school and home addresses as part of the block arrangement. This is a statutory procurement to ensure continuity of education for pupils unable to access mainstream school places.
