Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 40 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £46,420,018 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

The local authority is looking for the following areas of provision: - Tuition - Mentoring and wellbeing - Alternative Provision (such as mechanics, hair and beauty) - Care and support - Equine and animal support - Therapy (such as speech and language and occupational therapy)
