Tender description

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP Council) are seeking suppliers to provide the following service. Alternative Education Provision Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council is committed to meeting the educational needs of all children and young people (CYP) across the conurbation.

The BCP Alternative Education Provision Framework will support the delivery of high quality provision, that meets the individual needs of our children and young people. The Service Specification will set out the requirements necessary to achieve the intended aims and objectives of the Framework.
