Tuition for Children and Young People - Market Engagement

Sheffield City Council · Local authority

In brief

Sheffield City Council has announced plans to buy training and 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 £2,800,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 September 2026.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 58 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 £2,800,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Sheffield City Council (SCC) is exploring the development of a tuition model for children and young people who require education outside of school. Tuition services are typically provided on a 1:1 basis, and can be either online or face to face depending on the needs of the individual pupil. The focus is usually the core subjects (maths, English & science) but we are interested in the value that can be added through delivery of a broader curriculum and preparing young people for adulthood alongside the core subjects. This market engagement aims to understand the capacity, innovation, and expertise within the provider landscape to help us shape a high quality and equitable offer for all learners.

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.
