- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Norfolk County Council will be seeking providers that wish to apply for a placement on a framework which will deliver high-quality online and face to face personalised tuition for children and young people across Norfolk. The service will deliver education outside of, or in addition to, a school setting.
The service defines the standards, expectations and responsibilities that providers must meet to support children and young people with a range of educational, social, emotional, medical, some behavioural and special educational needs. The expectation is that providers will deliver provision that is safe, effective, outcome-focused and aligned with statutory duties in line with Norfolk Area SEND, Alternative Provision Strategy and FLOURISH outcomes. The service will aim to improve educational engagement, address barriers to learning and support successful progression, development and reintegration into education wherever appropriate .
The framework will be divided into two Lots, providers can apply for one or both Lots.
Lot 1 will be for the provision of delivering one to one tuition online and Lot 2 will be for the provision of in-person tutoring across Norfolk in a non-school settings.
The framework agreement is due to commence on 1st June 2027.
