Kirklees Council (LA) is committed to provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities and a personalised learning programme for all pupils, according to need, through its maintained mainstream and specialist schools and providers. This provision may be supported by commissioned services to either complement, or provide an alternative to, the teaching and learning available within those settings.

Online learning refers to the use of electronic applications and processes to facilitate learning. Pupils accessing alternative education may benefit from online provision to overcome barriers to learning. For the purposes of this contract, the LA is specifically looking for organisations which can deliver online learning through web-based programmes and/or online classrooms.

Online learning provision might be accessed by pupils from home or other appropriate setting, in exceptional circumstances, as an alternative to school on either a part time or full-time basis. Overall education provision for compulsory school age pupils should be full time. However, in very exceptional circumstances there may be a need for a temporary part-time timetable to meet a pupil"s individual needs. All such arrangements must be formally agreed by the LA prior to introduction and be regularly reviewed.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The LA must fulfil its statutory duties towards children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and demonstrate its arrangements for those with an education, health, and care plan (EHCP). These duties include those children and young people with an EHCP, whose attendance at independent or free schools delivering alternative education provision, would be suitable for their age, ability and aptitude or SEN

The aim of this service is to provide an alternative approach to learning, for up to 60 pupils with an EHCP in all key stages offering tailored programmes which deliver support to meet EHCP outcomes.

These pupils would ordinarily be educated in a special school, but due to current local and regional sufficiency pressures, particularly around specialist settings for pupils with SEMH needs, we are seeking to source additional specialist placements locally to Kirklees.

Programmes of support under this Lot are required to:

• Enable the LA to secure the SEND provision described in the Education, Health and Care Plan. This is likely to include aspects to specialist Health (e.g. mental health support, speech & language support) and Family Support as well as an Education offer.

• Provide flexible and bespoke provision that is suitable for the young person.

• Provide a tailored education programme for each pupil, with personal guidance and support .

• Offer the opportunity for externally accredited qualifications in several subject areas.

• Be regularly reviewed following the statutory guidance in relation to the annual review of EHCP.
