- £4,480,000

- 7 December 2026

- Swansea, Wales
- Type
- Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)
In plain English
Swansea Council is setting up a framework, a pre-approved list of providers, for education, vocational, therapeutic and wellbeing support for children and young people who need help beyond what a mainstream school offers. Schools, the Swansea PRU and council inclusion services can then buy from this list, worth an estimated £4,480,000 across seven lots.
What the buyer wants
• Deliver a range of learning, vocational, engagement, wellbeing and therapeutic programmes for children and young people, including those who have experienced disruption to their education. • Show how your offer complements Curriculum for Wales and supports reintegration, progression and continued participation in education. • Explain how learner voice will shape curriculum planning, review and adaptation, and how your provision builds confidence, independence and transferable skills.
Lots
- Curriculum Enhancement
- Vocational and Work-Related Learning
- Engagement and Re-engagement Services
- Emotional Wellbeing and Therapeutic Support
- Outdoor and Experiential Learning
- Employability and Transition Programmes
- Innovation and Specialist Provision
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out specific qualification, turnover, insurance or accreditation requirements, but bidders must show detailed educational and therapeutic capability across one or more of seven lots, so a small business without an established track record in youth or alternative education provision would likely struggle to compete.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
