    Brief

    West Sussex County Council is establishing an open framework to commission high-quality independent alternative provision services for learners who need support beyond mainstream education. The framework operates alongside the Council's West Sussex Alternative Provision College and is designed to provide short-term interventions, transitional placements, and Education Other Than At School (EOTAS) packages. The framework particularly supports learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), especially those with Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autism. Services are structured across four tiers: Tier 1 (school-commissioned short-term interventions), Tier 2 (authority-commissioned transitional placements), Tier 3 (authority-commissioned EOTAS provisions), and Tier 4 (specialist targeted support for multi-disciplinary team cases). All suppliers must comply with the Non-School Alternative Provision Voluntary National Standards (August 2025). The framework runs from September 1, 2026 for an initial two-year period. Suppliers can apply at any time during the framework term and may apply for one or more tiers, with the option to add additional tiers throughout the contract period. For full service requirements and application details, visit the Authority's e-tendering portal.
