(September and March) A Call-off process through Yortender will be used to award contracts. Inital closing date for applications 20 March 2025.

AI Analysis
Powered by AI — always verify against official documents
East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council need to hire tutors and teaching assistants to provide education to children who can't attend mainstream schools. This is an open framework where you can join one of three types of service (face-to-face teachers, teaching assistants, or online tutors), and once approved, councils will call you off to provide sessions as needed.
Requirements
- Must be able to provide services in one or more of the three lots: Face to Face Teacher, Face to Face Teaching Assistant, or Online Tuition
- Must meet unspecified evaluation criteria to be accepted onto the framework (full details in tender documents)
- Must be registered on Yortender to receive and respond to call-off contracts
- Must be able to start work within specified timescales when called off by councils
- No specific requirements listed in the notice regarding qualifications, DBS checks, or teaching credentials — check the full tender documents for these details
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver face-to-face tuition in a classroom or school setting (if bidding for Lot 1 - Teacher)
- Provide face-to-face teaching assistant support to children in educational settings (if bidding for Lot 2 - Teaching Assistant)
- Deliver online tuition sessions to children and young people via video or digital platform (if bidding for Lot 3 - Online Tuition)
- Respond to council call-off requests and provide availability for flexible short-term and ongoing placements
- Maintain records and communication with the councils about student progress and hours delivered
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a framework agreement, not a single fixed contract — you get approved once, then councils call you off (book you) for individual assignments. Your income depends on how many times you're called off, so understand what volume councils typically use before bidding.
- 2There are three separate lots (Lot 1, 2, and 3) — you can bid for one, two, or all three. Read carefully which qualifications, skills, or experience each lot requires, as they'll be different.
- 3The 'two-stage process' means: Stage 1 is getting onto the framework (approved supplier list), Stage 2 is the call-off process where councils actually book you for work. Only suppliers on the framework can be called off.
- 4New providers can join at six-monthly intervals (September and March), so if you miss the 20 March 2025 deadline, you'll likely have to wait until September 2025 to apply — plan accordingly.
- 5Check the Yortender portal rules and system requirements now — you must be registered and comfortable using it to bid and receive orders. Some councils use this for all procurement, so it's worth getting familiar.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're a small tutoring business or teaching assistant agency, you can bid for all three lots simultaneously, which increases your chances of being called off regularly. Councils need flexible supply, so being available across different formats is attractive.
- Check the evaluation criteria carefully — councils often score on social value (e.g. experience working with disadvantaged groups, local employment, safeguarding training). If you work with vulnerable young people, highlight this heavily in your application.
- Consider whether you can handle variable demand. Framework contracts mean you might get zero calls for a month, then five assignments the next week. Have a flexible cost structure and backup capacity so you can respond quickly when councils call.
