To do this, BCP will ensure all children receive the right support, in the right place at the right time. Most children and young people have their educational needs met in mainstream schools. However, a small proportion of CYP require additional support, or education via a specialist school setting. In some cases, when a school cannot meet the needs of the CYP, Alternative Education Provision is sought. The BCP Alternative Education Provision Framework will support the delivery of high quality provision, that meets the individual needs of our children and young people. The Service Specification will set out the requirements necessary to achieve the intended aims and objectives of the Framework. ## CPV classification Education and training servicesHealth and social work services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05125f-2026-08-25T14:51:47+01:00 [View official notice ](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05125f-2026-08-25T14:51:47+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
