Preliminary Market Engagement - SEN and Virtual School Tuition

Westminster City Council · Local authority

In brief

Westminster City Council has announced plans to buy education work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £8,135,515 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 2 November 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 51 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 £8,135,515 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Westminster City Council (WCC) and The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) are looking to establish a Tuition Services Framework for bespoke individual tuition (in-person and online) for Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Virtual School provision.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
