    Brief

    This procurement establishes a multi-supplier pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for children's external placements and educational services. The framework will reopen at 12-month intervals (or at the Authority's discretion) to allow new providers to apply or previously unsuccessful providers to reapply. The procurement follows an open procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 using the Light Touch Regime for social and specific services. Five main lots are available: (1) Independent Fostering Agencies, (2) Residential Children's Homes, (3) Independent Special Education Provisions/Post 16 Placements, (4) Out of School Tuition, and (5) Post 16 Alternative Provision. A sixth lot comprises mini-competitions for block contracts, available only to bidders successfully awarded onto the corresponding main lots. Providers offering 38+ week boarding or 52-week placements through Independent Special Educational Provisions must meet requirements for both ISEPS (Lot 3) and Residential Children's Homes (Lot 2) specifications. Peterborough prioritizes keeping children and young people in their local area where appropriate. Eligible partner organizations include educational establishments in Peterborough and local authority councils across England.
