When this comes round again

City of Doncaster Council publishes Education & Training work continuously — 30 notices, roughly one every 15 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

34% of City of Doncaster Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

The City of Doncaster Council is to establish a Flexible Procurement System (FPS) for the Provision of Children's Specialist Education Services under the light touch regime.

The FPS for the Provision of Children's Specialist Education Services is part of the continuum of services that support children, young people, and their families.

It provides a structured and organised approach that outlines the principles, guidelines, and strategies for providing specialist education provision to children and young people with unique learning needs or specific challenges such as school avoidance, trauma response behaviour or other emotional or behaviour concerns.

This framework serves as a blueprint for designing, implementing, and evaluating educational programs that are tailored to address the diverse requirements of these children and young people, ensuring that they receive effective and targeted support in their learning journey.
