Pre-Market Engagement Notice – Alternative Education and Provision Framework
Alternative Education and Provision Tender
Central Bedfordshire Council and Bedford Borough Council are developing a new Alternative Education and Provision Framework, which is intended to commence on 1 September 2027.
We are aiming to open the procurement opportunity for applications in November 2026 and would like to invite interested providers to attend a Pre-Market Engagement Event via Microsoft Teams on:
Date: Tuesday 27 October 2026
Time: 13:30 - 15:30
The session will provide an opportunity for providers to learn more about the proposed framework, understand the councils' requirements, and ask questions ahead of the procurement process.
