    "description": "Hampshire County Council wishes to establish a register for suppliers who provide additional education and supportive services for pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). These plans cater to children, young people, and adults with special educational needs requiring support beyond what educational settings can offer. The services awarded under the register aim to meet statutory obligations under the Children \u0026 Families Act and SEND Regulations (2014) by assessing, meeting, and reviewing the needs of these pupils through family and professional engagement.\r\n\r\nIn scope services include in-person and online tutoring (both QTS and non-QTS qualified), specialist teaching, regulated therapies, and inclusion support, with flexibility for future adjustments.\r\n\r\nThe register will be open for an initial period of 4 years and further extensions in flexible periods of up to 8 years will be available, taking the maximum length to 12 years. Once operational it will replace the framework SEN Discretionary Payments Open Framework (CS18368).\r\n\r\nAdditional information: Hampshire County Council wishes to establish a register for the provision of additional education and supportive services commissioned by Hampshire County Council to pupils in Hampshire who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). EHCP\u0027s are for those children (0-16) or young people (16-19) or adults (19-25) with special educational needs who require support beyond that which an educational setting can provide for Children and Young People on SEN support.\r\n\r\nThe service\u0027s primary function is to fulfil the Authority\u0027s statutory obligation under the Children \u0026 Families Act and SEND Regulations (2014) to assess, meet and review the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN), through engagement with families and support professionals.\r\n\r\nUnder the Children and Families Act 2014 the purpose of an\u202fEducation Health and Care Plan (EHCP) is to make special educational provision to meet the special educational needs of the child or young person, to secure the best possible outcomes for them across education, health and social care and, as they get older, prepare them for adulthood.\r\n\r\nTo meet the assessed needs of pupils, three initial areas have been identified for service delivery. These will be the basis of the register but there will be opportunities for additional services to be added as and when the Council identifies them:\r\n\r\n\u2022 Tutoring - QTS Qualified/ Non QTS, Specialist Teachers and Additional Support\r\n\r\n\u2022 Therapies\r\n\r\n\u2022 Inclusion Support\r\n\r\nThe requirements cover services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) and, as such, is not subject to the full regime of the PCR 2015 but is instead governed by the \u0027Light Touch Regime\u0027 contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of PCR 2015 (Regulations 74 to 77).\r\n\r\nTendering:\r\n\r\nThe Council will run call-offs from the register to award contracts to suitable suppliers to deliver the services. Each call off will have it\u0027s own specification which will include a description of the service to be delivered as well as outcomes and Key Performance indicators to be met.\r\n\r\nAfter the initial stage of onboarding onto the register, it will be re-opened (at a date to be set) and it is the Council\u0027s intention for it to be open to applications all the time thereafter.\r\n\r\nIf you are not already registered with the Council\u0027s e-tendering website In-Tend please do so via https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire and register your interest in this opportunity.\r\n\r\nWe recommend that you refer to the e-tendering guidance for suppliers which can be found by clicking on \u0027Information for Suppliers\u0027 at the top of the home page.",
