Within Bury, Alternative Provision is used to meet statutory requirements and is used in a number of circumstances, including for those at risk of exclusion or who are disengaging from learning, in managing behaviour in schools, improving attendance and supporting the SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs of pupils Bury Council is seeking to establish an Approved Provider List in order to meet Bury's statutory duty to arrange suitable full-time education for permanently excluded pupils, and for other pupils who, because of illness or other reasons, would not receive suitable education without such provision. The Approved Provider List is intended for use by Bury Council's Special Educational Needs & Assessment (SEN) Team, the Virtual School, Schools and other services working with children and young people, and referrals will come from these teams. ## CPV classification Education and training services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/069049e7-6d24-474d-8b67-50f3a6b14c3a) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
