One-to-One Specialist Tuition and Mentoring Services Framework

City of Bradford Metropolitan Council is establishing a multi-provider framework to supply specialist one-to-one tuition and mentoring services for vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people. The service targets children in care, care leavers, pupils with SEND, excluded pupils, those receiving alternative education (EOTAS), and young people not in education, employment or training (NEET). Providers must deliver evidence-based educational interventions that improve attainment, re-engagement, and progression into mainstream education or employment pathways. Services will be required across Bradford district and nationally (England, Scotland, Wales) with capability for rapid deployment within 48 hours. All provision must meet statutory safeguarding requirements, SEND regulations, and educational best practice standards. The framework welcomes applications from experienced tutoring services, educational charities, specialist support providers, and training organisations with proven track records in supporting vulnerable learners.
