## About this tender

Switch-on is a research and evidence-based literacy intervention developed by Nottinghamshire County Council. It aims to enable struggling readers and writers to make accelerated progress and in turn to have a positive effect on their life chances. The one-to-one intervention requires a trained adult to teach pupils to read using books from a Switch-on book pack.

The book packs are an essential requirement in the implementation of Switch-on, containing books from a wide variety of publishers and catering for differing interests and age groups. These books are carefully chosen and finely levelled by Switch-on developers.

Nottinghamshire County Council will direct schools to a supplier of the book packs who will deal with schools' enquiries, orders and deliveries directly. Participating schools are based across the UK.

The Framework agreement would be for an initial term of 24 months with an option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months meaning the Framework agreement could run for a maximum of 4 years (48 months).
