In plain English
Nova Education Trust is hiring a provider to run Inclusion Centres in their schools across the East Midlands. These centres will help students who are at risk of exclusion or struggling with behaviour, attendance, or learning barriers by providing intervention, support, and reintegration programmes.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver and manage Inclusion Centre services across one or more Nova Trust schools • Provide targeted intervention, behaviour support, and pastoral care for at-risk pupils • Run reintegration programmes to help pupils return to mainstream education • Develop and continuously improve the service based on outcomes
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a specialist education and behaviour services contract. Most small trades businesses will be disqualified unless they already operate inclusion/pupil referral services or have significant background in school support provision. The £9.6m contract value and NHS/Trust governance requirements also mean this is likely reserved for established providers rather than first-time bidders.
