The Framework will be divided into four Lots:

Lot 3 - East: Chiswick, Brentford and Isleworth - up to 8 Framework Providers

Lot 4 - SEND: Borough-wide specialist SEND provision - up to 6 Framework Providers

Tenderers may apply for one or more Lots and may be appointed to multiple Lots where they meet the applicable requirements.

Services will be commissioned through individual Call-Off Contracts in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement. Call-Offs may be awarded without reopening competition or following a competitive selection process, as provided for within the Framework.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
