    Brief

    Herefordshire Council has established an Open Framework to commission alternative education services for children and young people without a school place, those requiring individualised education packages, or those at risk of or subject to permanent exclusion. The framework supports vulnerable students through three service categories: Education and Engagement Activities (Lot 1), Mentoring delivered face-to-face or online (Lot 2), and Tuition delivered face-to-face or online (Lot 3). Multiple providers have been appointed across these lots to deliver services. The framework has a maximum total value of £20,000,000 (excluding VAT) and was procured under the Procurement Act 2023 using the open procedure with Light Touch Regime flexibilities. The framework commenced on 1 July 2026 and will be re-opened at least once before July 2029, and thereafter at least once every five years, to allow additional providers to be appointed.
