    Brief

    Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway Council are establishing a joint purchasing framework for external tuition and mentoring services for children and young people (CYP) with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including those with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP). This framework supports students aged 3-19 (or up to 25 with EHCP) who cannot access in-house tuition through KCC's Education Programme or when capacity is reached. The framework is being developed in response to Ofsted and Care Quality Commission joint review recommendations and supports Virtual School Kent's responsibility for children in care. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver quality tuition services that improve educational outcomes, support personal education plans, and demonstrate value for money. The partnership ensures robust governance, quality assurance, and consistent standards across both councils. Funding may include Pupil Premium Plus (PP+) and Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) allocations for looked-after children.
