Framework Agreement for the Provision of Inclusion Services

Swansea Council is establishing a framework for providers capable of delivering educational, vocational, therapeutic, engagement and wellbeing services for children and young people who require support beyond that ordinarily available within a maintained school. It replaces the existing EOTAS Framework and broadens access to approved provision across Swansea schools, Swansea PRU, local authority inclusion services and other authorised Council services. The Framework is intended to help schools and services respond flexibly to learner need whilst maintaining a strong focus on reintegration, progression and successful participation in education. It reflects a clear shift away from viewing alternative provision as a last resort and towards a model in which specialist interventions form part of a planned continuum of support designed to improve attendance, engagement, wellbeing, attainment, progression and inclusion. The framework will comprise of the following lots: Lot 1: Curriculum Enhancement Lot 2: Vocational and Work-Related Learning Lot 3: Engagement and Re-engagement Services Lot 4: Emotional Wellbeing and Therapeutic Support Lot 5: Outdoor and Experiential Learning Lot 6: Employability and Transition Programmes Lot 7: Innovation and Specialist Provision
